In a review for AllMusic, arwulf arwulf wrote: "Collaborations, a richly rewarding compilation of material from quartet and quintet dates... illuminates [Crispell's] creative involvement with some of Scandinavia's most promising young improvisers... the quartet is perhaps a bit edgier, as the unit is strongly fortified by the presence of reedman Fredrik Ljungkvist and drummer Paal Nilssen-Love. These men are members of the feisty Norwegian/Swedish group Atomic... Trumpeter Magnus Broo, who harmonizes well with Lars-Golan-Ulander in the quintet, is also affiliated with the Atomic band. This exciting, adventuresome music is highly recommended for anyone who loves the sounds of collective improvisation and wishes to stay in touch with the marvelous artistry of Marilyn Crispell."[3]
