Alex Henderson of AllMusic stated "despite the presence of a few weak tracks, Pushing the Envelope on the whole isn't a bad album. Anyone who owns a copy of Live at Birdland West knows that Albright is capable of a lot more, but even so, this disc has more going for it than a lot of the smooth jazz-oriented releases of 2010." [4]
Pushing the Envelope was Grammy nominated in the category of Best Pop Instrumental Album. [5]
