In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states, "The music Zooid creates has the subtlety and lyricism of fine poetry. Given Threadgill's reputation as a musical polymath, this shouldn't be a surprise, because, as evidenced here, in his own way he is reinventing jazz from the inside out."[2]
The Down Beat review by Bill Meyer notes, "Despite a conceptual debt to the collectivism of Ornette Coleman's harmolodics, you won't mistake this music for anyone's other than Threadgill's, even though he keeps a tight rein on his own plating."[3]
The All About Jazz review by Troy Collins says, "A superb follow-up to last year's return to form, This Brings Us to, Volume 2 is a stellar effort documenting the ongoing efforts of one of today's most important improvising composers."[4]
