Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Canto is the song of a master who employs all of his tools in the creation of a work of art". The All About Jazz review by Alex Henderson stated "Lloyd, like Trane, has always been very spiritual, and there's no way getting around the fact that spirituality is a crucial part of Canto. The rewarding post-bop session has a meditative quality, and Lloyd's modal improvisations draw heavily on Middle Eastern and Asian spiritual music... [a] strong addition to Lloyd's catalogue".
