"Jazz has loved and drawn inspiration from Pollock, too-in part, perhaps, due to the improvisational aspect of the painter's best known art."

"The impression of movement within a canvassed frame, which Pollock created with his famous action painting technique, ..."
Doug Simpson
"In adhering to the album title's connection to American abstract painter Jackson Pollock, there are a number of songs that have a painterly perception."
"Ironically, the title track is not a fully-developed composition, but instead one of two short interludes evenly spaced along the record's breadth."
"However, it is apparent on first listen this is the only unmistakably three-way collective impromptu event, and Friedrich, Hébert and Moreno produce a brief but beguiling concoction that is intricate and unsettling."
Doug Simpson
