In his review on Allmusic, Alex Henderson notes that this is "The Philadelphia guitarist was also very much at the height of his creative powers -- a fact that's hard to miss on this excellent session... Martino's lyricism was never more personal than it is on this album."[3] Bill Milkowski in JazzTimes stated "it highlights the guitarist at the peak of his interpretive powers... We'll Be Together Again shows the guitarist's tender side in a more subdued setting. It sustains a mood of beauty and passion that is positively spellbinding".[5] In an article for All About Jazz, Ian Patterson called the album "the most sensitive and moving playing of the guitarist's entire recorded oeuvre."[6]
