In his review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick stated "It is... one of the very finest jazz albums of the '90s and one that cannot be recommended too highly."[2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings noted that, in relation to the first volume of Vade Mecum, volume 2 is "more coherent and cogent." They praised the "stirring thoughtfulness [of] Dixon's spacious solo lines," noting that their logic "carries each piece forward to a satisfactory conclusion."[3]
