The Baltimore Bomb has been praised by music critics. Tim Smith of The Baltimore Sun called the work "an attractive curtain-raiser" and wrote, "A suggestion of clanking cutlery from the percussion section — evoking eager dessert eaters, perhaps — provides an initial pulse for The Baltimore Bomb, which gets further fuel from lush chord progressions."[3] J. T. Hassell of the Washington Classical Review further remarked, "Appropriately, this commissioned work by the Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer began with spoons clinking rhythmically on a plate. Out of this grew an effervescent swell of strings and winds, which Alsop steadily built into a sumptuous statement from the full orchestra. This brief climax subsided and diminished steadily and returned to the lone sound of spoons on plates to close the piece."[4]
