Commenting on the "duality" of Lindsay's work, DownBeat critic Jon Andrews wrote that "the moody songs on Noon Chill transmit mixed signals, scrambling tenderness and romanticism with aloof detachment and cryptic lyrics." He further noted that the record's lilting Brazilian rhythms are "offset" by its keyboard textures, a contrast he credited for "giving the music its edge."[2] AllMusic's Tim Sheridan highlighted the album's "hypnotic rhythms and enigmatic lyrics" and found that Lindsay's "narcotic delivery is nicely suited to the pictures he paints."[1]
