The "Down Beat" review by John Corbett states, "With this incarnation of Zooid, Threadgill has yet again found the ideal vehicle for his evolving ideas." The All About Jazz review  by Troy Collins says, "Bolstered by the unswerving dedication of his longstanding sidemen, "Tomorrow Sunny / The Revelry, Spp" continues the ongoing documentation of Threadgill's Zooid, a consistently fascinating endeavor from one of the most compelling composers of our time." In a review for "PopMatters", John Garratt notes, ""Tomorrow Sunny/The Revlery, Spp" is the sound of Zooid branching out and out some more. They’re becoming more somber and melodic, more edgy and chaotic, softer and louder, seemingly all at once." The "JazzTimes" review by Mike Shanley states, "Everything has a strong sense of direction, even during moments when  things sound spare and minimal. As a result, the album comes off as the most focused Zooid release yet." Track listing. All Compositions by Henry Threadgill
