The AllMusic review by David R. Adler said, "This record could have been merely one more Latin-themed album by an American jazz musician. But creative production choices and fantastic musicianship make it artistically solid and uncommonly beautiful".[2] In JazzTimes, Owen Cordle stated "The group mixes the melodic side of jazz improvisation with the subtle insinuation of the various supporting rhythms ...This is one of his better albums as a leader".[4] On All About Jazz, Jim Santella wrote "Highly recommended, Ron Carter's Orfeu combines mainstream jazz with lyrical Brazilian charm for an outstanding session".[5]
