AllMusic[4]

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek stated "this premier recording of Anthony Braxton's "Composition No. 193" for tentet is a work of remarkable elasticity and texture. ... Braxton shoves classical idealism and jazz bravado right into the middle of one another in a visionary meld. ... Ultimately, as with most of Braxton's work, conventional musical idioms are a waste of descriptive or critical language. It doesn't swing, but it does flow, float, and shine; this work does not make one stomp one's feet, but it does engage on an emotional as well as intellectual level. Above all, it accomplishes what the composer set out to do: create an enormous palette of colors and textures, explore them thematically using conventional and expanded harmonic syntax, and develop new possibilities for structural integration and open improvisation between the worlds of 20th century classical music and the jazz vernacular".[4]
