Writing in 1971 for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau referred to Fénix as "the first jazz I've played frequently for pleasure since In a Silent Way" (1969) by Miles Davis.[3] The AllMusic site awarded the album 4½ stars, stating that "at this point in 1971, well before the Muppets would create a caricature out of him, Barbieri was absolutely smoking, and for a certain style of rhythmic free jazz, this is a captivating album indeed".[1]
