==Reception== {{Music ratings | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{rating|4|5}}<ref name="Allmusic"/> | rev2 = PopMatters | rev2Score = {{rating|7|10}}<ref name="PopMatters"/> }} In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek said "Ware's development as a player is no longer reliant on his physicality -- though he still possesses it in abundance. Rather, it's his centering on that collective voice, which offers so many dimensions and textures to explore, where he expresses his creativity and mastery of his horns. ''Onecept'' is an exciting next step in Ware's musical evolution".<ref name="Allmusic">{{allMusic|last=Jurek|first=Thom|class=album|id=mw0002024538|title=David S. Ware – ''Onecept'': Review|accessdate=June 9, 2014}}</ref> PopMatters review stated "these nine songs are the rare glimpse of three jazz musicians lifting the sound way above their heads and pushing it through the ceiling. It’s almost a stretch to call it jazz. It’s just…music".<ref name="PopMatters">Garratt, J., [http://www.popmatters.com/review/129954-david-s.-ware-onecept/ PopMatters Review], September 15, 2010</ref>
The All About Jazz review noted "Even after half a century playing the saxophone, for Ware the journey continues—and his cohorts are right there with him".<ref>Jones, N., [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/onecept-david-s-ware-aum-fidelity-review-by-nic-jones.php All About Jazz Review], September 7, 2010</ref> The ''JazzTimes'' review by Michael J. West commented "David S. Ware could never be accused of following trends. If saxophone-led trios are all the rage, his release of a sax/bass/drums album feels coincidental. Either way, though, ''Onecept'' is among the best of that recent lot".<ref name="JazzTimes">West, M. J., [http://jazztimes.com/articles/26693-onecept-david-s-ware JazzTimes review], ''JazzTimes'', November 2010</ref>
