Reviewer Hahna Briggs wrote "The film shows the infiniteness of the universe through the simultaneous imploding and exploding of bodies in space and time. In addition, the interconnectedness of everything is demonstrated in the dance through showing similar and repeating patterns that occur in space, sound, water and bodies."

Axis has subsequently been screened (as an Official Selection) in Festivals in Singapore, Colombia, Korea, Hong Kong, Auckland and San Francisco.
