All About Jazz[3]

Allmusic reviewer Steve Loewy states "By the end of this full-length recording, the listener has participated in a journey that applies new perspectives to common themes, challenges traditional concepts, and soars toward a paradigm of order and structure that emerges from a morass of free improvisation -- a magnificent feat that sparkles majestically".[2] On All About Jazz Rex Butters wrote "These three musicians blend their distinctive voices to unite in the interwoven wonder of improvised performance. Maintaining a compelling dynamism throughout, In Finland captures a valuable musical moment and brings an updated look at Matthew Shipp for some thirsty ears".[3] In JazzTimes Mike Shanley noted "Ultimately, the touchstones are noticeable but they’re outweighed by the music that McPhee, Shipp and Duval create in the moment.[4]
