Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "This truly inspiring music was made by a band who had yet to see how much taste, grace, and elegance they possessed. Pakistani is essential listening for vanguard jazz fans".

All About Jazz stated "The group carries a stalwart emphasis on color, texture, and density—of both the timbral and harmonic kind... European improv never sounded better"
