According to JazzTimes, this album deviates from Harrell's previous works. The use of piano is absent, and the three horns often play in block-chord formation. There are hints of Latin jazz, R&B and indie-rock. According to the review, "Colors of a Dream may deviate, but it never disappoints."[2] Down Beat magazine si"milarly noted the lack of piano, stating that the addition of Shaw on sax and Spalding on bass results in an "opaque and varied" soundscape.[1] In March 2013, the group performed this work at the Village Vanguard which was broadcast live by NPR Music.[3]
