The AllMusic review by Paul Collins stated, "The absence of a drummer deprives The Following Morning of some of the drive and rhythmic shadings of other Weber releases. In some ways this is a more contemplative work, lingering longer upon the tones of the individual instruments... the album is quite subtle and slow to unfold. You might not pick up this album as often as some other Weber releases, but it can reward close listening."[3]
