Allmusic[2]

In The Boston Phoenix, critic Bob Blumenthal wrote that Davis performs "with an elegance that has only been hinted at in the past."[3] Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "in general the complex and often-fascinating music is quite original and has no obvious predecessor. Lady of the Mirrors is still one of Anthony Davis' finest piano recordings".[2]
