Ted Davis of Pitchfork commented that "Morgan's naturalistic nuance coaxes out English's elusive ethereal side, often glimpsed in passing but rarely explored at length."[7] He added, "Across 49 minutes of muted soundscapes peppered with warm energy, the two musicians use manipulated organ tones to patient, meditative ends."[7] Wyndham Wallace of Uncut commented that "It was only a matter of time before two of contemporary ambient music's leading practitioners banded together, but these eight tracks, unlike their titles, are subtle, complex, and not always pacifying."[14] Heather Phares of AllMusic stated, "A meeting of the minds that will satisfy and excite fans of either or both artists, Colours of Air is a testament to Morgan and English's artistry that grows richer with each listen."[8]
