In his review for AllMusic,Stewart Mason stated:"Visions matches Walt Dickerson's cool vibes with Sun Ra's idiosyncratic piano in a way that shows both men's contrasting styles to surprisingly cohesive effect... Fans of Sun Ra's outer space mythology and chanting lyrics will have to look elsewhere for their fun,but fans of Ra's exceptionally gifted and distinctive free jazz piano playing should be fascinated. Dickerson,one of the few jazz vibraphonists to have little audible debt to Lionel Hampton,also plays with his characteristic exploratory but controlled style". [4]
