| AllMusic |   [3] |
Scott Yanow of AllMusic, in a 4/5 star review, wrote "During practically every piece, Lyle spends part of the time seemingly attempting to overcome his surroundings. If he would drop the heavy baggage (especially the strings, the unnecessary singers and the dull drumming), Lyle could create some significant jazz. As it is, The Journey is much better than expected and fairly enjoyable."[3]
