Reception
In her review for AllMusic, Joslyn Layne states "Golden Quartet is Wadada Leo Smith's strongest date as a leader in quite some time and certainly is his best among his releases on Tzadik."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz notes "On 'Celestial Sky and All the Magic', Smith demonstrates again how much he owes to Miles Davis, but also how far he has travelled beyond."
