Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

In his review for AllMusic, Sam Samuelson states "The Nommonsemble pull together a concise and pleasing recording that for the most part proves itself to be relevant and thought-provoking."[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "They're a highly compatible quartet, four thinkers who prefer the dryer end of free jazz and, while the record isn't exactly exciting, it certainly makes its own space."[3]

The JazzTimes review by Aaron Steinberg says "Though obdurate and knotty on the whole, Life Cycle maintains a calm and spacious core throughout, which is due largely to Dickey's drumming and his sensitive interaction with Shipp."[4]
