AllMusic[1]

Roch Parisien at AllMusic gave Voodoo Violince three stars out of five, recommending it to open-minded fans of guitarists Joe Satriani and Steve Vai who might be looking for something different. He said that "Wood's arsenal of custom-made electric violins (including a six- and nine-string double-neck, and a Flying V) sounds much like a Star Trek phaser set to overload and on the verge of exploding." Parisien went on to further describe Wood's tone, saying "The high-pitched squeal can have an unearthly effect, full of feedback and vibrato but with the texture and range of a keyboard."[1]
