The [All About Jazz](/source/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](/source/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](/source/JazzTimes)'', July/August 2011</ref>
