[1][2][3] In his review for Allmusic, Sean Westergaard notes that, "It's great to hear Frisell messing with the delays again in a big way and the pure sonics of Floratone are as much of a treat as the playing.

[4] On All About Jazz, John Kelman said "The music on Floratone is largely based around Chamberlain's behind-the-beat grooves and Frisell's left-of-center blues-drenched chords and phrases.

While changes don't figure much, Frisell's inherently skewed lyricism creates instantly memorable melodies.

[5] The BBC Music review by Matt Trustram stated "The lack of an instrumentalist leader is audible; don’t expect virtuosic riffing or soloing from Frisell here.

Sure, his presence is felt, with hallmark reverb and tremolo effects as well as his innate blues feel".
