Scott Yanow, in his review for AllMusic calls the album a "disappointment considering the talents involved". He states "not a lot of magic or close communication occurs, and the improvisations tend to ramble."{{allMusic|last=Yanow|first=Scott|class=album|id=r141458|title=Anthony Braxton and Joseph Jarman – Together Alone: Review|accessdate=February 3, 2014}}
