Adler stated, "His harmonic and formal concepts are as challenging as ever, yet his exceedingly difficult writing is rendered oddly accessible by the unperturbed facility of his band".<ref name=Allmusic/> Writing for All About Jazz, Jim Santella said, "Vijay Iyer's music contains the adventurousness and dramatic tension that you'd expect from avant-garde jazz; as well as a light, rhythmic swing, for those of us who live in the mainstream. His third album is accessible to one and all. They're his originals, and they're interpreted by a stellar quartet".<ref name=AllAboutJazz>{{cite web|url=http://www.allaboutjazz.com/panoptic-modes-vijay-iyer-red-giant-records-review-by-jim-santella.php|title=Vijay Iyer: Panoptic Modes|publisher=allaboutjazz.com|last=Santella|first=Jim|date=2002-03-01|accessdate=2015-10-09}}</ref>
