In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states "Adasiewicz is a fine player, in the backdrop overall, and more pronounced as an emerging writer. He's scratching the surface, and offering great potential on this fine effort that comes recommended to those who choose to listen closely."[2]

All About Jazz published several reviews: Mark Corroto says that the group sound makes "Rolldown a special band and album, and Adasiewicz a revelation as a new jazz composer."[3] Troy Collins notes "Unconventional arrangements, expansive dynamics and unpredictable shifts in rhythm prevent these tunes from settling into simulacrums of the past."[4] Mark F. Turner states "This is music that is heady and refined.. a select for progressive listeners."[5]
