The Down Beat review by Aaron Cohen says "The group’s collective sensibility sounds unshakable throughout the disc."[2]

The All About Jazz review by Mark Corroto notes "The potential for this new trio is infinite. Hopefully, there will be more where this came from."[3]

In a review for PopMatters, John Garratt states "One moment it’s Eno fog, the next it’s blistering, stratospheric bop. Aphelion doesn’t inspire admiration, it inspires wonder."[4]

In an article for Burning Ambulance, Phil Freeman says about the album "This is a fascinating, multifaceted record that’ll hit you with one unexpected moment after another, all of them enjoyable."[5]
