Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "this quartet has done what so many attempt, but so few actually succeed at: They've created a virtual cinema of the unconscious, colored by sound yet evoking not only images but sounds, feelings, and textural awareness; beautiful and harrowing".[1]
