The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick states "The Aggregate is a challenging recording, more so than most by more jazz-oriented saxophone quartets, but very rewarding on its own terms and an important document in Braxton's work for woodwind ensembles".[3] in the Washington Post Mike Joyce wrote "If easy-listening music lies at one end of the pop spectrum, the edgy, probing and often discordant sounds Anthony Braxton and the ROVA Saxophone Quartet conjure up on "The Aggregate" can be found at the opposite extreme. In fact, lacking the jazz and blues-orientation of the World Saxophone Quartet or the lightheartedness of, say, Washington's own Windmill Saxophone Quartet, the Braxton-ROVA collaboration will appeal primarily to listeners open to the more cerebral side of improvisation and composition".[4]
