The Penguin Guide to Jazz[4]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings stated that, in relation to Mark–n–Marshall: Monday, Tuesday "is just as good, but one senses that, the introductions over, the chemistry isn't quite as intense." However, they noted: "'Altobatics' is as close to a showpiece as Allen has released, and 'My Funny Valentine' will challenge any blindfold testee."[4]

John Murph, writing for Jazz Times, wrote: "In... Whitecage, Allen has found a kindred spirit, one who can dance around and intersect through Allen's oblique passages... Bassist Dominic Duval and drummer Luqman Ali provide a supple rhythm section that gently pushes Allen and Whitecage forward while simultaneously adding rich colors and textures... Mark–n–Marshall: Tuesday... softly piques the curiosities of those wanting to hear this great altoist outside of Sun Ra's outer-spaceways."[5]
