The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow described Murphy's recordings for Muse Records as "...among the most rewarding of his career", adding that "His eccentric improvising is an acquired taste worth gaining...An interesting outing that sounds quite contemporary while tied to the jazz tradition."[1] The All About Jazz reviewer wrote: "I'll Close My Eyes is a classic and should be a part of every serious jazz lover's CD collection."[3]
Andrew Gilbert writing in MusicHound Jazz: The Essential Album Guide assigns the album 4.5 bones[4] and says, "Murphy turns everything he sings into jazz. He even transforms the moldy old Bread tune "If" into a torchy ballad".[4]
