AllMusic	[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz	[3]

AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars calling it "A fine example of Geri Allen's advanced music (which holds on to tradition without merely recreating the past)".[2]

The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "With The Nurturer, Allen develops her interest in structures, the shape and resonance of compositions, as opposed to straightforward soloing on themes. The arrangements are watertight and quite ambitious... Strongly recommended."[3]
