Reception
The
AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated: "This is a long and tough listen, but it's a light one in comparison to
For Alto . And make no mistake: It is outrageously forward-thinking, if not—arguably—downright visionary. Braxton's 3 Compositions of New Jazz is an essential document of the beginning of the end".
