"[1] Martin Longley, writing for the BBC, commented: "Dixon's two-part "Entrances" bookends the disc, dedicated to solar storm-brewing, utilising a palette of shimmering vibraphone, dappled piano, murmuring timpani drums and deeply slumbering bass.

Mazurek's lengthy "Constellations For Innerlight Projections" is even more impressive, complete with a retro cosmic proclamation by Damon Locks that evokes the 1960s and '70s vibrating spheres of Sun Ra, and with an instrumental gait that suggests Moondog on the move; tubular bells chiming resoundingly.

"[6] In a separate review for the same publication, Greg Camphire called the album "a sprawling meeting of minds," and commented: "Bill Dixon with Exploding Star Orchestra explores many moods over the course of each kaleidoscopic piece.

"[7] Writing for PopMatters, Michael Patrick Brady remarked: "Bill Dixon with the Exploding Star Orchestra never bears too much resemblance to either of the parties involved, instead maintaining a precious balance in which both can offer their talents and skills without overpowering or deferring to one another.

The record is an opportunity to hear Dixon in a rare ensemble setting, and see how his mind arranges the tools presented to him by Mazurek, while also seeing how nimbly the Exploding Star Orchestra can help the master realize his visions without compromising them.
