==Reception== The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3½ stars stating "''Movements in Colour'' is a wonderfully breezy, airy, but very sophisticated recording that places an unusual instrument (the tabla) at the center of a jazz group that defies expectations and delivers something new yet familiar; this set is both well-conceived, and more importantly, well-executed."<ref name="Allmusic">Jurek, T.

Duncan Heining in his review for ''Jazzwise'' stated, "...they share a profound and uplifting grasp of the power of colour and that is certainly a word I would have to use in respect of Sheppard’s music. Here it shows in the way these five musicians combine to kaleidoscopic effect that matters most rather than their solo contributions. The impression throughout is of serving the music."<ref name="JW" /> {{Album ratings | rev1 = ''Allmusic'' | rev1Score = {{rating|3.5|5}}<ref name="Allmusic"/> | rev2 = ''Jazzwise'' | rev2score={{rating|4|5}}<ref name="JW">{{cite web |last1=Heining |first1=Duncan |title=Andy Sheppard - Movements in Colour **** |url=https://www.jazzwise.com/review/article/andy-sheppard-movements-in-colour |website=Jazzwise |accessdate=13 August 2020 |language=en |date=27 March 2009}}</ref> }}
