The Guardian's John Fordham noted "The trio demonstrates sublime improvising musicianship and flawlessly creative listening at once".[2] The PopMatters review by Will Layman stated "Lost in a Dream faces serious competition, but it should rank high on anyone’s list of superb Paul Motian recordings... This group’s combination of balladry and excitement, texture and melody, individual personality and group simpatico makes Lost in a Dream a serious standout".[3] All About Jazz correspondent John Kelman commented "Lost In A Dream may be the first salvo from this empathic new trio, but hopefully it won't be the last".[4] The Independent's Phil Johnson said "With no great variation in method the listener has a lot of work to do, but the pitter-patter of the drums' uneven pulse cues in some beautiful music".[5]
