In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow notes "Kahil El'Zabar's quartet is an all-star group with enormous potential. The material that they interpret on Big M (a tribute to the late Art Ensemble of Chicago bassist Malachi Favors), unfortunately, is not up to the level of the musicians. Much of the time the players are heard here merely jamming on simple vamps that overstay their welcome. There are some fiery moments from the invididual musicians ... but the weak originals make this a less memorable set than it should have been considering the artists involved".[3] On All About Jazz, Troy Collins said "Mixing together a program of deep Afro-centric grooves, jubilant funk vamps and serene atmospheric ballads, Big M is a magical and heartfelt memorial to one of jazz's finest artists ... Teeming with vivaciousness, this celebratory ode to the life of Malachi Favors avoids morose lamentation, and the result is a joyous, viable tribute to a beloved artist".[4] In JazzTimes, Mike Shanley wrote "Kahil El’Zabar (drums) and Yosef Ben Israel (bass) spend most of Big M playing strong grooves from which they barely diverge. This is not to say that their roles are overly simplistic or that this music gets repetitive. They actually create a high level of excitement for what lies ahead ... Brown and Bang serve as ideal frontline partners throughout the album, with the saxophonist’s often gruff tone complementing a violin performance that combines an equally rugged attack with an often gentle sense of lyricism".[5]The Washington Post called it "a series of stirring, spiritual and deeply heartfelt performances".[6]
