Miles Raymer of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.3 out of 10, commenting that "Their playing has a loose, improvisatory feel but a strong sense of purpose."[5] He added, "The three showcase a strong and singular shared vision, and in the moments where the music pulls you in deep enough to share it with them, it’s a beautiful thing."[5] Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, writing, "Certain stretches of Sounding Lines are so trimmed and sedate that they're less diverting than anything on the previous Trio releases."[4]
