Critical reception

In JazzTimes, Harvey Siders wrote: "RichLee! is filled with conversations that deserve maximum exposure as Konitz and Perry engage in fascinating dialogues that flow as smoothly as those between Jay and Kai, Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker or, closer to this timbre, Konitz and Warne Marsh. Perry tones down his usual intellectual style here, probably in deference to the veteran, which puts them on the same page. They listen to each other when filling gaps and even when “talking” at the same time ... RichLee! is a great meeting of musical minds.".[5]
