Allmusic[3]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings [4]

The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 3 stars stating "Listeners with attention spans that allow them to focus on this heady brand of creative modern jazz will easily hear this as one of many triumphs concocted by Douglas in the 1990s. This collaboration is among his better team efforts. Highly recommended".[3]OnAll About Jazz David Adler stated "Loose, natural interplay is the name of the game here, and Leap of Faith finds the quartet even more loose and natural than last time around. Douglas's writing also seems more varied and inventive".[5]InJazzTimes Peter Margasak wrote " His piano-less quartet on Leap of Faith-tenorist Chris Potter, bassist James Genus, and drummer Ben Perowsky-superficially recalls the telepathic unison playing of the classic Davis quintet with Wayne Shorter, but Douglas' complex, serpentine compositions and the way his rhythm section triggers and prods the front-line into action is worlds apart from that group".[6]
