The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 3½ stars, and commented: "Galaxies is a dense, detailed album that may well tax the attention of listeners not entirely persuaded of the merits of solo percussion. It should, perhaps, be listened to track-by-track rather than as an uninterrupted whole." [3]
In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "This is definitely a recording for very specialized tastes... Although probably pretty impressive to see live, on record much of the musical magic is missing and there are not too many listeners that interested in hearing 56 minutes of drum solos." [2]
