The [[Allmusic]] review by Stacia Proefrock awarded the album 3½ stars stating "This is not a piece of classical movements; rather, it is like a film with constantly changing scenes.

This is one of Zorn's most complex and beautiful pieces, showing that he is still constantly evolving as a composer."<ref name="Allmusic">Proefrock, S.
