Critical reception
Record Mirror found "Ramsey Lewis's mixture of jazz with pop and soul music never variesfrom his own well -developed style - and on this album there are another
ten examples of his piano playing."
Ed Hogan of AllMusic declared that "Another Voyage is one of the Ramsey Lewis Trio's best efforts" which "serves as a prime example of the muscular Chicago sound while preserving the pianist's trademark elegance".
John Fordham of The Guardian also noted that Lewis' "licks-playing is undeniably engaging, his sense of dynamics and drama acute, and the drumming of Maurice White, before his departure to Earth, Wind & Fire, very tight and commanding."
