In his review for DownBeat, Michael Jackson stated, "Medeski Martin & Wood’s new album offers a summation of the group’s purpose three decades into its unconventional career. Omnisphere (Indirecto), recorded in 2015 with new-music ensemble Alarm Will Sound, provides evidence of the trio’s boundless creativity."[5] Philip Boot of JazzTimes stated, "on the provocative Omnisphere, recorded live in 2015, Medeski Martin & Wood venture into contemporary classical music, with the help of 20-piece chamber orchestra Alarm Will Sound."[6]Spectrum Culture's Will Layman commented, "With Omnisphere, MMW proves again that they are committed to surprises despite their popularity. Collaborating with Alarm Will Sound, a small orchestra from the “new music” side of the classical world, they have created yet another kind of hybrid creativity."[2] Bill Milkowski of The Absolute Sound commented, "...the direct hits far outweigh the misses throughout this intriguing double vinyl album."[1]
