Where Is Brooklyn? is much more about energy and thoughtful group interaction than memorable themes, and so there’s just a little something missing in comparison to Cherry’s prior albums, even though they did also emphasize the qualities on display here. Nonetheless, it’s still a fine record for what it does concentrate on; Sanders is in typically passionate form, and the rest of the ensemble members have already honed their interplay to a pretty sharp edge.
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album “a great piece of work,” and commented: “Though it seems to go back to the less adventurous format of Complete Communion and to focus on discrete compositions rather than flowing improvisation, it has enough detail and enough thoughtful energy stashed away in each track… to create the same feel.”
Writing for All About Jazz, Ollie Bivens remarked: “Where Is Brooklyn? can be challenging music. There are no melodies or toe-tapping beats. The playing is in-your-face, take-no-prisoners stuff. While certainly not an easy listen, it is still rewarding due to the heartfelt playing… For jazz fans curious about the avant-garde, the challenging music on Where Is Brooklyn? is as fine a place to start.”
