The AllMusic review by Michael Erlewine said "A live performance -- a concert. Lots of space, and a slow pace. Music to listen to, perhaps a tad too intellectual. Still... lovely".{{Allmusic|first=Michael |last=Erlewine |class=album |id=mw0000187960 |title= Ron Carter / Jim Hall: Telephone – Review |accessdate=November 2, 2017}}
