Critical Reception
In the late 1980s The Village Voice named KMH as one of the "10 albums you can't live without".
In his review of the 2007 re-release, Stephen Eddins (Allmusic) praised Melnyk's performance, saying that it "boggles the imagination" and that it would appeal to "fans of minimalism and maverick experimentalism with an immensely attractive sound." Mike Powell (Pitchfork) described the music as "minimalism at its most lush, ornate, and taxing" and compared it to works by La Monte Young and Erik Satie.
