Record Mirror found "Ramsey Lewis's mixture of jazz with pop and soul music never varies from his own well -developed style - and on this album there are another ten examples of his piano playing." [8] Ed Hogan of AllMusic declared that "Another Voyage is one of the Ramsey Lewis Trio's best efforts" which "serves as a prime example of the muscular Chicago sound while preserving the pianist's trademark elegance". [5] John Fordham of The Guardian also noted that Lewis' "licks-playing is undeniably engaging, his sense of dynamics and drama acute, and the drumming of Maurice White, before his departure to Earth, Wind & Fire, very tight and commanding."
