Andy Kellman of Allmusic gave the album a 4 out of 5 rating. As well Kellman, in his review, noted "One inspiration for the title of bassist Nathan East's second album for Yamaha -- third if the Grammy-nominated Bob James collaboration The New Cool is counted -- was the passing of Maurice White. The Earth, Wind & Fire leader is twice paid explicit tribute on Reverence ... Given East's continued predilection for uplifting wordless melodies, and the frequent use of bright horns, the uplifting spirit of EW&F flows through much of the album."^[3]

Singles

A cover of "Serpentine Fire" featuring EWF's Philip Bailey, Verdine White and Ralph Johnson reached No. 17 on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Songs chart.^[2]^[4]
