Howard Klein's review, "
New Music Heard At The 92d St. 'Y'," published in  on January 4, 1965, praised the skill of Max Neuhaus (a 24-year-old percussionist at the time) and his fellow performers in tackling difficult avant-garde music

The concert took place at the Kaufmann Concert Hall at the 92nd Street Y and included three experimental pieces: Kontakte by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Atlas Eclipticalis and Winter Music by John Cage, and Transición II by Mauricio Kagel. 

Klein found that the concert had few musically satisfying moments, but highlighted the visual aspect of the performance, specifically describing Neuhaus "moving among his paraphernalia like a laboratory physicist".
