Writing for The Guardian , jazz critic John Fordham noted that Lost in a Dream reveals Motian's trio to "demonstrate sublime improvising musicianship" and "flawless creative listening at once". [3] This symbiosis between musicians was similarly highlighted by reviews in PopMatters , AllAboutJazz and The Jazz Mann. [4] [5] [6] , with John Kelman describing Lost in a Dream to be the work of Motian's "empathic new trio". [5] The Jazz Mann considered Lost in a Dream to be a superb example of contemporary improvised music in which "the empathy between the three protagonists is of the highest order", producing an album of "supreme beauty with a controlled power and a keen musical intelligence". [6] In his review for PopMatters , Will Layman suggested that Lost in a Dream "should rank highly" within Motian's extensive repertoire recorded works, reporting that the trio's "combination of balladry and excitement, texture and melody, individual personality and group simpatico makes Lost in a Dream a serious standout". [4]
Reflections on Motian's collective body of work since his death have concluded that the musical intelligence and 'empathy' on display makes Lost in a Dream one of his finest recordings. [8]
