Jazz critic John Fordham from The Guardian highlighted a "muscular, horn-heavy" version of Bobby Timmons' "Moanin'", described "Be My Monster Love" as "soulful and coolly bass-walking" and "Hope Is a Thing with Feathers" as a "smokily wondering immigant-song". He added that it was recorded with David Murray, describing him as a "post-Coltrane tenor-sax supremo".[3]
Jazz critic Mike Hobart from Financial Times called Issues of Life: Features and Remixes a "terrific introduction to the Porter aesthetic".[2]
