Reception

AllMusic awarded the album with 2 stars and its review by Wilson McCloy states: "The Lion and the Ram" is an underrated gem in the Coryell catalogue. It contains mostly acoustic guitar music and several outstanding original compositions. "Bicentennial Head Fest", "The Fifties", "Domesticity" and "Bach Lute Prelude" are fine examples of exciting, yet subtle and eclectic, improvisation-oriented guitar music".
