Critical reception
editThe Lake Geneva Regional News described the first track, "Buddy Bolden's Blues", as "a step into next year".[3]
Writing for the Detroit Free Press, music reviewer Fernando Gonzalez wrote that All Roads Are Made of the Flesh "offers improbable combinations like Jack Bruce rubbing elbows with Charles Neville, Elisee Pyroneau and Giovanni Hidalgo in the song "...at the same time." Musically, All Roads stretches from the intimate version of Jelly Rolly Morton's "Buddy Bolden's Blues" sung by Bruce to the intense R&B-meets-free-jazz-meets-salsa and Cuban "conjunto" of "...at the same time"."[4]
