Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4 stars, calling it "a marvelous example of thoughtful, dynamically shifting ECM chamber jazz".[3]

Geoffrey Himes of The Washington Post wrote "In the ongoing tradition of Charles Mingus, two of the most creative bandleaders in jazz today are bassist-composers, Charlie Haden and Dave Holland. Bassists -- who solo at their own peril -- understand better than anyone that in jazz the ensemble interaction is more important than the individual showcases. And it's the subtle, democratic give-and-take -- where the drummer and bassist matter as much as the keyboardist and horn players -- that makes the Dave Holland Quintet's "Points of View" so enthralling."[4]
