In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "Flip & Spike is the first of Morris' recordings that articulate his signature investigations of the guitar as an instrument of sonic density and dexterity, not just as a solo vehicle. As such, and as a work of striking emotional commitment, it is quite remarkable."[1]
In his book Honesty Is Explosive!: Selected Music Journalism, music writer Ben Watson claims about the album "Beneath the surface cool you sense a delirious funk. It creates a tension similar to the tumble-down-chaos-that-rocks in Beefheart."[2]
