Reception

Allmusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls David T. Chastain "a little weak", saying that "he rarely writes a memorable theme -- but as a player he's exceptional, taking these compositions further than anyone would have expected. He may no longer have the audience he had in the '80s, and he may no longer be turning out the kind of heavy metal that filled stadiums in the '80s, but Acoustic Visions indicates that David T. Chastain is now playing better and with more subtlety than he ever has."
