Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings

In a review for Down Beat, Jim Macnie says about the duo "You can hear their unity in the heady banter of these three discrete suites. Each is a cascade of curt phrases that manage to solidify as they align with those of their mate."[2]

The All About Jazz review by Dan McLenaghan notes, "With Celestial Weather, Smith and Lindberg employ a spare, conversational approach.. It is music that is reflective and serene."[3]

The JazzTimes review by Bill Beuttler states, "The result, though less extravagant than Smith’s Pulitzer-nominated, four-CD Ten Freedom Summers and subsequent two-CD The Great Lakes Suites, is a worthy addition to those recent landmarks that documents the two men’s exceptional rapport."[4]

The Point of Departure review by Chris Robinson says, "Celestial Weather is one long series of in-depth conversations, where each man carefully listens to his friend and responds in kind with care and generosity. It can be a difficult listen, as it is extremely nuanced, contains a great deal of information, and requires as much attention as any music can. While some may bristle at its difficulty and the continual abstraction, it rewards and edifies as all great art does."[5]
