The Down Beat review by Bill Meyer says about Adasiewicz's role in the trio "His playing with Sun Rooms proposes a broader role; the vibes generate melody and harmony the way a piano might in another trio, but they’re also like a drum kit, the source of the ensemble’s energy."[2]

In a review for JazzTimes Mike Shanley notes "A casual listen to Spacer could give the impression that all the tracks have a similar approach and that one blends into the next. But this music shouldn’t be listened to casually."[3]

The Tiny Mix Tapes review by Clifford Allen says "While there may be a number of opportunities to hear Adasiewicz in top form, Sun Rooms is a particularly fascinating trio that gives the vibraphonist ample room to stretch. It’s no wonder that he and his mates on Spacer are among Chicago’s first-call jazzmen."[4]
