In his review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states, "A music not for everyone in the jazz world, but those who are bold and will listen closely hear a phenomenal concept brought fully to fruition by these incredible, challenging, forward-thinking musicians."{{allMusic|last=Nastos|first=Michael G.|class=album|id=mw0000783964|title=Fieldwork – Door: Review|accessdate=August 10, 2017}}
The JazzTimes review by Mike Shanley notes, "Tension and suspense are two key qualities on Door: a gargled alto sax squawk lurking in the distance, stop-start beats played on the rims of the snare and bassy piano lines played in the low register more than make up for the trio’s lack of the stringed instrument."Shanley, Mike.

The All About Jazz review by Troy Collins states, "A truly singular post-modern hybrid that draws equally from M-Base rhythms, Braxtonian structural theory and stark minimalism, Door is the formidable trio's most expansive and challenging recording to date."Collins, Troy.
