Reception

In his review for Something Else!, S. Victor Allen states, "Conversations I revels in its random, extemporaneous intonations, offering proof that ideas Roscoe Mitchell first put forth in the mid-60's are nowhere near exhausted. It's the kind of album that demands an encore, and wouldn't you know there's one coming: Conversations II"[3]

Regarding Conversations I and II, DownBeat's Bill Meyer commented: "Both of these CDs are remarkably consistent; the engagement and invention never flags, which makes it hard to favor one over the other... Not only is the sound crisp and immaculate, it imparts a spacial experience that makes it feel like the music is happening all around the listener."[2]
