Release and reception

Allmusic reviewer François Couture preferred the band's later releases, noting that here "their assembling is a bit more crude." Despite this he praised the band for being at the top of their form, admitting that "all the elements that would constitute the band's sound for the next ten years are present."[1] Glenn Astarita of All About Jazz shared much of the same criticisms, while noting that "the band goes for the jugular as they pursue impacting motifs amid heated interplay and cunning developments, in a loud yet purposeful sort of way."[3]

In 2000, Cuneiform Records adopted and re-issued Reflections from the Firepool with an alternate cover.[4]
