In JazzTimes Brent Burton wrote "Turn it up loud or turn it down low; either way, it’s one of the best piano-trio recordings you’ll hear this year".[6] The Guardian;s critic John Fordham observed: "Like their earlier ECM albums Trio and January, Faithful is predominantly pensive, but the trio are vivacious even while dreamwalking".[4] For All About Jazz, John Kelman wrote: "Wasilewski may be the titular leader, and contribute all the original material, but Faithful clearly relies entirely on the strength of a collective for whom lyricism is paramount, regardless of the context—direct and driven or implicit and suggestive, but always placing the whole as the objective beyond its individual contributing voices".[5]
