Reception

In a review for JazzTimes Lloyd Sachs states, "As she does throughout Aeriol Piano, Davis draws you in so effortlessly that the brilliance of what she's doing doesn't hit you until the piece has slipped past you."

The Point of Departure review by Troy Collins says, "A product of her influences, Davis seamlessly incorporates lessons learned from disparate sources, adapting the dissonant intervals of Cecil Taylor, probing lyricism of Paul Bley and understated minimalism of Morton Feldman into a singular style largely devoid of the clichés of the jazz tradition, such as block chords or left-handed bass lines."
