In a review for ''[[NPR Music]]'', [[Kevin Whitehead]] stated that the album's "ego-free sound balance is typical of Joshua Abrams, a sign the music on ''Cloud Script'' is less about him than the collective. It's about being part of something bigger, where each player is stronger for all the ways they interlock."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/2021/01/08/954836069/joshua-abrams-chameleonic-quartet-gets-exuberantly-ornery-on-cloud-script |title=Joshua Abrams' Chameleonic Quartet Gets Exuberantly Ornery On 'Cloud Script' |first=Kevin |last=Whitehead |date=January 8, 2021 |website=NPR Music |access-date=January 1, 2024}}</ref>
