The AllMusic review by Ron Wynn awarded the album 2 stars, saying, "Glorious sound, little "pure jazz" content though."[3]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote that Weber "splits the album between bass soliloquies and counterpoint with a chilly brass section, yet the prettiest piece on the disc is the synthesizer tune 'One Summer's Evening'."[4]

Tyran Grillo, writing for Between Sound and Space, commented: "Orchestra is Weber at his purest. A lovely exposition of his talents, technical and melodic alike. Certainly not the one you'll want to start with, but by no means a shabby place to spend the night before continuing on your journey."[6]
