In his review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick states "Grawe plays with great fluidity, often serving as a near mirror image (though decidedly flavored with his own musical nature) to Braxton's typically liquid and flowing flights of creativity."[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "There are continual hints and reminders of Braxton’s current compositional interests, palindromic shapes and stretching pulses, which suggest the extent to which he used public performance of this sort as a laboratory for ideas which would take on a more detailed form later."[3]
In an article for the Boston Phoenix Ed Hazell states "Like Braxton’s most satisfying keyboard partner, Marilyn Crispell, Georg Gräwe brings quick reflexes to the music and a style that mixes contemporary classical and free jazz vocabularies in a densely detailed, confrontational style that leaves Braxton no choice but to meet him head on."[4]
