The Penguin Guide to Jazz noted "Brackeen's fine balance of abstraction and straightforward melody is simply demonstrated on Where Legends Dwell." [3] AllMusic reviewer Michael G. Nastos stated "this is her best work of the past decade. Twelve tracks are all originals. Over 70 minutes of incredibly ingenious jazz included. This is easy to dig into". [2]
