Critical reception
Alex Henderson of AllMusic, in a 2.5/5-star review, remarked, "Land of Passion isn't instrumental jazz — it isn't hard bop, post-bop, or even fusion. The main focus of this LP is mellow, mildly jazzy R&B/pop (with the occasional instrumental)...Land of Passion needs to be judged by R&B/pop and quiet storm standards, and when those standards are applied, one has to say that this record is likable but not mind-blowing."[3]
