In a 2014 review, Richard S. Ginell of AllMusic praised the album for "Wave" and "Triste" (deeming them two "instant standards") and its "absolutely first-rate tunes... that escaped overexposure and thus sound fresh today." He concluded, "one only wishes that this album were longer; 31:45 is not enough." Chris May, in a review on All About Jazz, said Claus Ogerman's simple string arrangements added to the "modern appeal" through "vivid evocation of a long-gone time and place." He added, "as jazz, Wave has no more authenticity than its cover shot suggesting an African giraffe traversing a Brazilian beach, but it remains an elegant and delightful album."{{Cite web|url=https://www.allaboutjazz.com/antonio-carlos-jobim-wave-antonio-carlos-jobim-by-chris-may.php|title=Antonio Carlos Jobim: Antonio Carlos Jobim: Wave|last=May|first=Chris|date=December 8, 2011|website=All About Jazz|access-date=June 13, 2018}} A review on Tiny Mix Tapes said, "with Wave....you'll find repeated listening will become a must."{{Cite news|url=https://www.tinymixtapes.com/music-review/antonio-carlos-jobim-aka-tom-jobim-wave|title=Music Review: Antonio Carlos Jobim (aka Tom Jobim) - Wave|author=Amneziak|date=January 29, 1996|website=Tiny Mix Tapes|access-date=June 15, 2018|language=en}}
