AllMusic awarded the album 4.5 stars. Its review by Scott Yanow says, "This interesting and one-time matchup features Larry Coryell and Emily Remler on a set of guitar duets. It is easy to tell the two players apart, yet their styles were quite complementary. Highlights of the date (which has four standards, Pat Martino's "Gerri's Blues" and two Coryell originals) include "Joy Spring", "How My Heart Sings" and "How Insensitive"."[1]

In The Penguin Guide to Jazz, the reviewers Richard Cook and Brian Morton wrote, "'Together' delivers fulsomely, a warm, approachable album which does not lack for subtleties. Recommended."[2]

Leonard Feather, writing for the Los Angeles Times, called the album "the best guitar duo album of the year", and stated that "Coryell and Remler interact brilliantly".[4]
