Reception

The Down Beat review by Aaron Cohen says "The group’s collective sensibility sounds unshakable throughout the disc."

The All About Jazz review by Mark Corroto notes "The potential for this new trio is infinite. Hopefully, there will be more where this came from."

In a review for PopMatters, John Garratt states "One moment it’s Eno fog, the next it’s blistering, stratospheric bop. Aphelion doesn’t inspire admiration, it inspires wonder."

In an article for Burning Ambulance, Phil Freeman says about the album "This is a fascinating, multifaceted record that’ll hit you with one unexpected moment after another, all of them enjoyable."
