In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "On most of the selections, the brilliant trumpeter is heard in excellent form... Marsalis's tone really makes the ballads worth hearing, and his unusual choice and placement of notes keeps the music stimulating." [4]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "the less effective of the two later Standard Times, and noted that, although "Marsalis has always shown tremendous loyalty and respect to his sidemen," "the extra horns bring nothing of any great substance," while Marcus Roberts "seems to have difficulty making his presence felt." [5]
Jack Fuller of the Chicago Tribune stated: "the trumpet wonder extends the new melodic reach he has attained through the study of figures like Louis Armstrong. His lyricism is always accomplished and at times quite lovely. Now what he needs is to heed the call of intimacy and let a little of the passion out, even at the expense of perfection and earnestness." [6]
Writing for Burning Ambulance, Phil Freeman commented: "Its subtitle might suggest an album of Quiet Storm-ish ballads, and the first and last tracks... nod to New Orleans, but for most of its running time Intimacy Calling is a hard-swinging hard bop record, particularly indebted to the work of the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet."

Blood on the Fields is a two-and-a-half-hour jazz oratorio by Wynton Marsalis. It was commissioned by Lincoln Center and treats the history of slavery and its aftermath in the United States of America. The oratorio tells the story of two slaves, Jesse and Leona, as they traverse the difficult journey to freedom. The narrative suggests that the individual freedom and agency of its protagonists is necessarily and inextricably intertwined with the empowerment of the community and nation as a whole. The work received the 1997 Pulitzer Prize for Music, being the first time the prize was ever given for a jazz music composition, an honor that had previously been reserved for classical composers.
