AllMusic reviewer Al Campbell stated: "Much like his first effort, Humility in Light of the Creator, Forces and Feelings projects a spiritual tone. While it is occasionally more relaxed than his debut, that's not to say this is McIntyre's mellow disc -- far from it. ... Considering the lack of recordings made by this underrated tenor saxophonist, any of his discs are recommended.".[3]

Harvey Pekar of The Austin Chronicle wrote: "The improvisation... may not be based on pre-set chord progressions, but the groups' performances are tight and coherent; members pay attention to collective interplay and textural and dynamic subtleties."[4]

Writing for The Hum, Bradford Bailey commented: "We find McIntyre pushing into unimaginable places, and bringing clarity to his unique creative voice. He skirts closer to outright Free-Jazz with incredibly complex tonal relationships and rhythmic partnerships, but never loses the depth of emotion which characterizes his playing."[7]
