In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states "Though short of Sonny Sharrock energy-wise and Derek Bailey in terms of innovation, Morris nonetheless holds high qualities of inventiveness, singular purpose, and individual vision."[2]

The All About Jazz review by Glenn Astarita claims "In some respects, Underthru is a bit lighter or perhaps less penetrating than previous 'Quartet' outings yet offers another glimpse of a notoriously 'cutting edge' band who seem capable of pursuing just about any avenue imaginable."[4]

In his review for JazzTimes Larry Appelbaum says about the album that "it is the most overtly jazz-based recording in the Morris catalog... Underthru swings and grooves and leaves a lot of space for interaction." [5]
