In an article for Between Sound and Space, Tyran Grillo wrote: "If ever it were possible for a recording to be even more alive than the day it was laid down, this is it-such is the value of its release. There's lots of free-improv, too, but the range of this remarkable group played a big part in its enduring influence on contemporary jazz." 'Oasis' sounds like an Ornette Coleman lament, and 'New Dance' is probably as close as any of these performers came to playing a mainstream jazz-calypso like Sonny Rollins' famous version of 'Don't Stop the Carnival'. 'So Tender' has the shape of a standard ballad. 'Innocence' drifts in freefall until it becomes a softly swaying love song. Writing for The Guardian, John Fordham called the album "enthralling", and stated: "'Personal Mountains' is a 20-minute tour de force of shifting harmonies and chord-punching Latin grooving. In a review for AllMusic, Christian Genzel wrote: "As a companion piece to the live albums Nude Ants and Personal Mountains., Sleeper offers another noteworthy document of the creative interplay between these four musicians." John Kelman, writing for All About Jazz, called the quartet a "very special and unforgettable group", and commented: "If Sleeper accomplishes any single thing, beyond being a stellar performance from a group that has rightfully, in the ensuing years, become legendary- and remains a touchstone for many musicians, young and old, decades after the fact- it's that this two-disc, 107-minute recording is a reminder of just how compelling a composer Jarrett can be. Some of the music played in Tokyo (different dates other than April 16) is collected in the album Personal Mountains Reception Professional ratings Review scores 21 – Prefectural Culture Center, Ibaraki.18 – Hokkaido Kosei Nenkin Hall, Sapporo.Below is the list of the dates and venues: Sleeper was recorded in Japan during a tour in which, according to Jarrett's "European Quartet" performed 13 times in 20 days.
