corrosive caress. Through brilliant dynamics, lyricism, harmonic invention and pure sound trickery, Braxton showed a single horn could be a complete orchestra." Nate Wooley, writing for Sound American, commented: "a series of solo compositions are presented based roughly on the different language types, and it is a fascinating document of the concept, while also being an enjoyably rigorous example of his mastery of the alto saxophone... In each piece, Braxton very clearly, almost obsessively, works with one language type, exhausting its permutations finally before moving to the next."
