Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "I've Been to Many Places sounds like the record Shipp had to make for his own edification, one that chronicles his expansive, fearless push toward the spirit of the unknown with purpose, one that deepens and widens the already expansive reach of his language."

The Down Beat review by John Corbett claims "Shipp's in fine form, prime for retrospection and reinvigoration."
