Liturgical Jazz was billed as "a musical setting of an order of morning prayer." Down Beat awarded the album 4½ star stars, writing that "the combination of music and speech builds to tingling climaxes." It praised in particular Summerlin's deployment of a "drum solo behind the benediction," as well as "the walking bass backing the general confession," noting that these choices are "not only imaginative but also serve a function of greatly enhancing these parts of the service.[2]
