Reception

In her review for AllMusic, Joslyn Layne states "Baraka may suffer a bit in comparison to the later, extraordinary Live in Wels & Chicago, but it's still a terrific showcase of the trio and, overall, a great adventurous jazz album."

The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes that "Baraka has its moments of stasis -the title track runs for more than 35 minutes, and it needs plenty of resources to sustain that- but there is still an awful lot to listen to."
