Andrew Quint includes Tekla Cunningham and Pacific MusicWorks’ Stylus Phantasticus in his December 2021 reviews roundup in The Absolute Sound magazine giving it a four-star rating for music and sonics:
“The performances have a refreshing spontaneity and often a dance-like sensibility. Although all the selections share a common style, Stubbs helps assure that things remain interesting for close to 75 minutes by varying the makeup of the accompanying forces. … the production team, led by David Sabee has created an aural experience that’s clear and immediate, without overly close microphone placement that could potentially exaggerate nonmusical sounds.”
