Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 2 stars and states "This CD reissue is mostly forgettable, finding Lloyd on tenor and flute mostly playing relaxing and soothing solos... most of the music is quite faceless".[2]

Seattle's Jive Time Records' Buckley Mayfield's review: "Waves is a testament to Lloyd’s aptitude for adaptability. He proved that a respected jazz musician could smoothly transition into the precarious freak zone of fusion and hippie rock and create a lasting work—even though too few people realize it.[4]
