In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson states: "Short of Charles Gayle, you won't find any 1990s avant-garde jazz that is more incendiary, ferocious and violent than Sound Hierarchy."[1]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "Crispell is too strong a personality to settle for the kind of subsidiary role that Perelman needs, and Hemingway's rhythms are too bracingly inventive - they offer Perelman a distraction rather than fed lines."[2]
