In his review for JazzTimes Josef Woodard says that, "the trio presents a colorful and convincing example of post-free jazz, mixing intricate rhythmic notions, introspective musings and moments of cathartic release."[3]
The 5-star All About Jazz review by Chris May notes that, "Despite its instrumentation, a good portion of the album is reminiscent of piano/bass/drums trio The Necks at its most spacious and unhurried."[2]
The Point of Departure review by Troy Collins states, "The simultaneous release of Pool School and Paradoxical Frog make a strong case for Ingrid Laubrock as a major new player worthy of extra attention, and is a testament to the creative diversity of the Downtown scene and Clean Feed's efforts to document it."[4]
The editors of NPR Music included the album in their feature "The Best New Jazz Of 2010 (So Far)", and reviewer Lars Gotrich noted that the musicians "share a similar approach to abstract jazz composition and execution: loose and unfolding like a flowering tea, yet full of unexpected color."[5]
