In The Boston Phoenix, critic Bob Blumenthal wrote that Davis performs "with an elegance that has only been hinted at in the past."{{cite journal |last1=Blumenthal |first1=Bob |title=The Great Jazz Merger |journal=The Boston Phoenix |date=10 March 1981 |volume=10 |issue=10 |url=https://archive.org/details/sim_boston-phoenix_1981-03-10_10_10/page/n61/mode/1up |access-date=27 February 2024}} Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "in general the complex and often-fascinating music is quite original and has no obvious predecessor. Lady of the Mirrors is still one of Anthony Davis' finest piano recordings".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000265171 |title=Lady of the Mirrors – Review |accessdate=November 2, 2015}}
