The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states "This is easily Colley's best recording of a small handful as a leader; it is a candidate for best jazz CD of 2007 and comes highly recommended".[3]

On All About Jazz, John Kelman's review said "The beauty of Architect of the Silent Moment is its unequivocal sense of purpose, which avoids undue consideration and provides everyone with ample room to move".[4]

JazzTimes's Thomas Conrad said "This is not an album that often settles into "solos." Colley creates shifting, intricate structures in which individual voices are embedded ... It is too early in the new year to vote, but Architect of the Silent Moment is on my working Top 10 list for 2007".[6]
