The AllMusic review stated "This landmark album is one of the most influential free jazz recordings in the '60s avant-garde canon ... This album is for the jazz aficionado looking to explore new aural vistas. The music on Tutankhamun is more about texture than melody, harmony, or even rhythm and counterpoint. The beauty of this music, however, is that the notes we hear offer a compelling and thought-provoking journey into the possibilities of sound itself".[3]
