Kyle Gann of The Village Voice describes "Blue" Gene Tyranny as possessing "Cecil Taylor`s keyboard energy, Morton Feldman`s ear," and states, "The most original aspect of (his) works is the way they create continuity: they`re tonal, yet rigorously asymmetrical. They satisfy the ear without letting it take anything for granted. They evolve...with the labyrinthine irreversibility of deep psychic forces." ~ All Music Guide
