In a review for All About Jazz, Charles Walker commented: "Volume III finds the band refining its sound, boiling down its book of highly original music from the unfettered antics of past interactions into a more centered whole."[3]
Mike Hobart of the Financial Times wrote that Potter and Maneri "combine warmly on saxophone and cello to bring out the full lyricism of Motian's unhurried themes, and then edge inexorably towards darker-centred improvisation. Motian knowingly orchestrates with subtle adjustments of tension and tempo, his rhythmic swirls, swishy cymbals and spacious beats compelling accompaniment."[4]
