From Thom Jurek's review on AllMusic:
Three Crowns is subtle, elegiac, and atmospheric. It is fully engaged. The musicians effortlessly express whole ideas from harmony's fragmented ghost traces, resulting in a beautifully articulated statement from a massively talented young band.
A highlight of the album is their 10-minute tribute to Tomasz Stańko, titled Mr. S.
