Rolling Stone writer Robert Palmer observed: "Sophie is a film score and the group essays bop, free music, a neo-dixieland and pounding R&B. There are saxophone solos by Joseph Jarman and Roscoe Mitchell, solid walking from bassist Malachi Favors, aggressive percussion from Don Moye and a searing Fontella Bass vocal."[2]AllMusic reviewer Brian Olewnick called the album "one of the landmark records of the burgeoning avant-garde of the time and, simply put, one of the greatest jazz albums ever."[3]The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide wrote that "Les Stances has some of the group's most varied playing."[4]
