PopMatters reviewer John Garratt stated "I recommend Myth and Mythopoeia solely based on the powerfully mysterious Missa Sine Voces"". You can look at the surrounding pieces in a number of ways—either as gravy, cold side-dishes, distractions, or some nice desserts. But the 13:25 track that summarizes the paradox that is John Zorn is a compelling reason to keep tracing the iconic composer’s career. As uneven and difficult as it is to follow, it’s certainly worth it when things like this happen".
