Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Don Snowden states "Song for My Sister is a strong album that takes in a wide variety of musical settings -- short pieces, long pieces, excursions into tradition, textures, and abstraction -- without losing cohesiveness. It's an always interesting journey."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says "As an entity, the ensemble feels shapeless in the way it handles various talents, and Mitchell himself never imposes enough of himself to unity it all."
In a review for JazzTimes Bill Shoemaker notes that "The deepest aspect of Song for My Sister is that it is merely a glimpse of Mitchell's potential with the Note Factory."
The BBC review by Bill Tilland states "Overall, this CD puts on display the diversity of Mitchell's musical vision, and while most listeners will respond more fully to some of its elements than to others, everything here is eminently worthy of attention."
