The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek stated "it displays, more than any of her other recordings to date, that she's charting her own development while in transition. ... Even the Sounds Shine is a beautifully guided tour through Melford's musical psyche of the time. Possibilities and problems present themselves with startling regularity and are either resolved, transmuted, or abandoned. This is exhilarating listening, and a historical look at Melford's development as a composer as she moved from her trio setting into something more dimensional and challenging".[3]
