Reception and legacy

According to AllMusic, the Quartet avoids cultural imperialism or appropriation and, "Pieces of Africa teems with beguiling melodies, making it one of this quartet's more accessible projects and also one of its best." A review in Gramophone argues that only Escalay and White Man Sleeps are successful compositions for string quartet. It was inducted into the National Recording Registry on April, 16, 2024.
