[5][6][7] In a review of the Rome tracks for AllMusic, Brandon Burke wrote: "the quartet plays with great care and collective understanding throughout... At first, one may get the impression that Izenzon and Haden are battling each other to be heard, but as the disc rolls on it is clear that the two are indeed partners striving toward a common end... Worth hunting for.

[7] Kevin Le Gendre of Jazzwise commented: "this quartet with its twin engine of double basses rates highly on the thrill scale...

In Haden and Izenzon there are two players with sufficient contrast in tone and attack to give the music an intriguing sense of push and pull... Blackwell matches them for orchestral richness through his percussive swell on the drums...
