All About Jazz | [3] |
In a review for Jazz Times, Shaun Brady called the album "a vivid example of [Crispell's] lyrical volatility and exquisite control on a largely free session."[4]
Simon Adams, writing for Jazz Journal, praised "the close listening each player maintains to the contributions of others," and noted that "there is a confidence and honesty about them that convinces."[5]
All About Jazz reviewer Dan McClenaghan stated: "Dreamstruck is a wonder of in-the-moment-ness. It is forthright and in-your-face...; ghostly and dreamscape-like...; full of uncentered melodic beauty...; thorny, teetering along the edge...; and gorgeously minimalist and majestic... And in the piano trio game, they sound like no other out there... Austere for the most part, the music benefits from a ruminative patience of delivery and the fortuitous entanglement of three strong musical personalities."[3]
In an article for Point of Departure, Greg Buium commented: "Here, three improvisers deep into middle age show how control and consonance and a deep, internal sense of form can make impromptu logic terrifically beautiful... Dreamstruck is a warm, often extremely accessible record. There is a searing, single-minded intensity at its core."[6]
