Flow States is an album by reed players Marshall Allen, Roscoe Mitchell, and Scott Robinson, and drummer Milford Graves.

[2] It was recorded one day after the ScienSonic session that produced the album Heliosonic Toneways, on which both Allen and Robinson performed.

[3] In a review for DownBeat, Ivana Ng called the album "a compact yet unrelenting set of expansive improvisations," and commented: "Flow States finds the quartet oscillating between forceful explorations and sparse, meditative musings, while seamlessly weaving in bebop, funk and more avant-garde concepts...

The band's collaboration throughout feels organic and well-balanced, with each musician afforded the proper space to explore fringe concepts... By its conclusion, the band reaches a full-on flow state of boundless improvisation and unbridled creative energy"[4] Writing for The New York City Jazz Record, Kyle Oleksiuk described the album as "strong" and "adventurous," and depicted the bulk of the music as "a high-energy free jazz atmospheric fugue (in the 'fugue state' sense), worthy of addition to the browsing music of any adventurous record store."

He concluded: "This section is relatively standard; it is the kind of thing that most free jazz fans will feel they've heard a thousand times before but, like the blues, one never gets tired of hearing it.
