AllMusic | [3] |
In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos describes the album as perhaps the best of Parker's career, writing: "One who listens closely, and more than once, will reap great rewards from this, another excellent document in the growing and substantive discography of the consistently forward thinking Parker".[3]
The All About Jazz review noted "One of Parker's most fully realized large ensemble recordings, Double Sunrise Over Neptune is cosmic groove music with a global flair—a seamless merger of Eastern and Western traditions conveyed with passionate conviction".[4] The JazzTimes review by Brent Burton commented "this groovy large ensemble recording acknowledges that a little freedom goes a long way. The occasional explosion of brass-and-string squall is more or less leavened by a cool-blue pulse"[5]
