Reception AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and in its review by Thom Jurek, stated "''Day Is Done'' is another exceptional chapter in the Mehldau catalog, one that showcases a willingness to stretch itself to the breaking point and open up the band to a wider array of approaches". The Guardian's John Fordham gave it a 4 star rating and observed "Devoted fans need not panic: this album has the characteristic absentmindedly drifting, cannily misleading intros, the gathering clamour of melodies and countermelodies and the irresistible blend of song shapes, ambiance and impressionism. However, this is a faster, more jubilant and less trancelike Mehldau band. Not necessarily better – just noticeably different".Fordham, G.Brad Mehldau: ''Day Is Done'' The Guardian, Septembe ...
