| AllMusic |    [3] |
AllMusic wrote positively of the album, stating that in "mixing ethereal melodies communicated by voice or saxophone with glissando accompaniment, Harold Budd creates a series of siren songs on The Pavilion of Dreams that shimmer like light reflected on the water's surface."[3]
