AllMusic[1]
DownBeat[2]

In his review on AllMusic, Ken Dryden opined "Schneiderman devours Bud Powell's dramatic "Glass Enclosure" whole, while his sense of humor comes across in an easygoing take of Charlie Parker's "Yardbird Suite" as he slyly inserts a low-key quote from the Latin tune "Tico Tico."[1] In his review on DownBeat, Robert Doerschuk stated "Rob Schneiderman steers a straightahead course throughout Glass Enclosure... While everyone plays with a pleasing and relaxed authority, Schneiderman pushes a little further..."[2]
