Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album four stars, stating "Chants is a strong statement from Taborn both as a composer and bandleader, but it's also a dialogue on the trio format itself, as articulated by this vastly talented, thought-provoking group." The Financial Times also gave it four stars out of five, describing it as "Exuberant trio music with an exceptional group dynamic". All About Jazz critic John Kelman praised the album, writing, "Chants is an album that augments the label's already vast collection of piano trio recordings with an unmistakably personal album whose hidden beauty unveils itself further with each and every listen." Down Beat awarded it 4.5 stars, stating that the album "is original to its core". The album was also nominated for "Record of the Year" 2014 by the Jazz Journalists Association (but lost to Wayne Shorter's Without a Net).
