The Down Beat review by Bradley Bambarger states "The 15 'chapters' of Shipp’s archly titled yet intense, interior suite don’t offer much of a journey in terms of color—this hour of music ranges from austerely ruminative to evocative of angst in the manner of postwar high modernism." [1]
In a review for Tiny Mix Tapes, Clifford Allen says "The Gospel According to Matthew and Michael is of a piece with much of Shipp’s work, as it focuses on multivalent communication between individuals to create a group language that is both singular and partial." [2]
