The
Allmusic review by
Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 5 stars and stated "On
Contours , his second Blue Note album, tenor saxophonist Sam Rivers fully embraced the avant-garde, but presented his music in a way that wouldn't be upsetting or confusing to hard bop loyalists... Rarely is
Contours anything less than enthralling, and it remains one of the high watermarks of the mid-'60s avant-garde movement".
