The ''[[Down Beat]]'' review by Bradley Bambarger says "Pitched between avant-garde jazz and modernist chamber music, the sound poems of ''Bells for the South Side'' challenge the ear, whether they are keening or swirling, spare or textured. But the music also has an undeniable grandeur, the feel almost ritualistic."<ref name="DownBeat">Bambarger, Bradley. ''Bells for the South Side'' review. ''Down Beat'' October 17: page 65.
