Jennifer Kelly of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10,commenting that "while Tree Colored See is not a radical departure from the Mystic Chords' self-titled first album,it is a somewhat more rhythmic and complex affair." [5] Rick Anderson of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5,writing,"Those familiar with their work as separate entities won't be too surprised by the way they sound as a trio:imagine vague but attractive melodies sung in a gauzy,slightly adenoidal 1960s male whine (multi-tracked for maximum retro-psychedelic effect) and underpinned by weird but highly effective loops and rhythm samples." [3] He added,"The album ends with more of a whimper than a bang,but up until then everything is just interesting enough to keep you consistently intrigued." [3]
