The All About Jazz review noted "''Planetary Unknown'' marks the first time this quartet played together, though that isn't apparent, given the music's deep roots and connections... the program has the air of a twenty-first century classic about it".<ref>Jones, N., [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/planetary-unknown-david-s-ware-aum-fidelity-review-by-nic-jones.php All About Jazz Review], June 8, 2011</ref> The ''JazzTimes'' review by Mike Shanley commented "Although no one actually leads the session, Ware’s personality—or perhaps his strong tone—seems to direct much of the proceedings".<ref name="JazzTimes">Shanley, M., [http://jazztimes.com/articles/27975-planetary-unknown-david-s-ware-cooper-more-william-parker-muhmmad-ali JazzTimes review], ''JazzTimes'', July/August 2011</ref>
