== Reception ==
The [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) review by [Scott Yanow](/source/Scott_Yanow) stated: "The performances are atmospheric, with both players utilizing electronics in spots while retaining their own musical personalities. Surman has long been a very flexible and mostly laid-back player, while DeJohnette also has the ability to fit in almost anywhere. Rather than individual melodies or solos, this CD is most notable for its overall feel and the blend between these two unique musicians."<ref name="Allmusic">Yanow, Scott [http://www.allmusic.com/album/invisible-nature-r573926 AllMusic review].
