Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Dave Lynch says about Infrasoud that "is a monster band capable of delivering a gargantuan punch."[2]

The Down Beat review by John Ephland notes that "Whether it’s the new-music classical vibe interfacing with the down-home sense of abandon or the sound of the instruments themselves and the novel assortment Davis has brought on board, Save Your Breath seems to have something for everyone."[3]

In a review for All About Jazz Glenn Astarita describes the album as "a musical journey that may be akin to navigating through a dense forest via snaking trails, rolling hills and dusky caves."[4]
