Reception The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars out of 5, stating "Hill's work does not suffer for its interpretations by Cline and company; it breathes in a new context, one that understands his own.

Reception The Allmusic review by William Tilland awarded the album 4 stars out of 5, stating "it offers the most dramatic example of Cline's general ability to synthesize beauty, emotion, intellect, technique, and even humor in his playing". Writing for All About Jazz, Alex K. Fong stated "The compositions on ''The Giant Pin'' simultaneously evoke traditional jazz, blues, post rock, and free improvisation without any of the awkward deliberateness found on the trio's debut release ''Instrumentals''. That's a testament to the development of Cline's writing and the group's chemistry". Pitchfork Media's Sam Ubl stated "Cline has fused his jazz and rock interests before but ''The Giant Pin'' takes both poles to heretofore untouched extremes-- especially at the low-volume end of the spectrum.

Instrumentals (Nels Cline Singers Album)
''Instrumentals'' is the debut album by The Nels Cline Singers led by American guitarist Nels Cline which was released in March 2002 on the Cryptogramophone label. Reception The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars out of 5, stating "This is one of Cline's strongest and most innovative efforts". All About Jazz stated "Jazz fans without an ear open to rock rhythms, energy music, or punk sensibility will almost certainly fail to appreciate what the Nels Cline Singers have done on ''Instrumentals''. But Cline doesn't really care about that. His music is a defining statement of identity, a cry from the heart without pretense or ambiguity. For the open-minded, this record will stack up as one of the very best of the year. It's deep, exciting, and viscerally satisfying". Pitchfork Media's Sam Ubl stated "While ''Instrumentals'' suffers a bit in comparison to Cline's previous studio work with the huge ''Destroy All Nels Cline'' ensemble, it's mostly because the th ...
