A review for Leeway's Homegrown Music Network called the album "a milestone among recorded sessions of free improvisation," and stated: "what sets Lincoln Memorial apart is the context and musical experience of the musicians... These are musicians of the caliber that listeners will want to hear how they interact in the most daring and vulnerable setting possible--and there are very few if any deliberate or false steps in the mix." He concluded: "Few recorded electric band excursions into free improvisation since Weather Report or King Crimson have produced such a powerful and whimsical result."
