Allmusic	[2]

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "Malphas is a success from start to finish, and perhaps the most exciting of the three volumes in the series thus far. Listeners looking for excellence and adventure would be wise to keep an eye out for this duo, who are perhaps redefining the space for modern composition and performance".^[2]
