Reception

Metacritic assigned the album an aggregate score of 74 out of 100 based on five critical reviews. [2] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek stated, "I Long to See You is well worth investigating even if, at times, it is overly tentative." [3] On All About Jazz , Ian Patterson wrote, "I Long To See You is a consistently beautiful offering—another sure arrow into infinity from Lloyd," [4] while Dan Bilawsky commented, "I Long To See You is the first album collaboration between Lloyd and Frisell. It's an impressive mix of the familiar and foreign that manages to fall right into the wheelhouse of both artists. ... It may be Lloyd's name in lights, but the music speaks to the true partnership at play." [5] In The Guardian , John Fordham thought that "Lloyd and Frisell sound like lifelong soulmates". [6] In JazzTimes , Thomas Conrad wrote, "I Long to See You is mostly gorgeous ... This ensemble, even if it proves short-lived, sounds inevitable, preordained." [7]
