Reception
The AllMusic review awarded the album 4 stars stating "in the case of Science Friction, the result is yet another peak in his recording career -- although when one considers Berne's other releases of the early '00s, the peak looks more like a plateau".Lynch, D., Allmusic Review accessed October 17, 2014 The All About Jazz review said that "Compared to Berne's earlier efforts, Science Friction represents a high-water mark. Berne remains one of the most distinctive voices in modern jazz, who—best of all—seems to have an uncanny ability to assemble sympathetic musical collaborators who share his vision".AAJ Staff Science Friction Review All About Jazz, October 25, 2002
