Our Prayer (album)

[4] In a review for AllMusic, François Couture stated that the album "runs the gamut of the pianist's range," and noted that "it offers a beautiful, progressive listen, and a valuable look into McGregor's musical thought, right before the formation of his Brotherhood of Breath.

"[1] Stuart Broomer of All About Jazz called the album "a welcome release, dynamic music with an identity of its own and a complement to McGregor's band efforts and solo CDs," and wrote: "Alternately dark and playful, it's a window on McGregor's most personal voice: fluent, thoughtful, and always conversational.

"[5] Writing for Itineraries of a Hummingbird, Jason Weiss commented: "Moholo's perpetually alert, nuanced, rhythmic textures help guide the others through every unexpected contour of density and delicacy along the way, reminding the attentive listener that while free playing may have been a dead end for some, it proved a fount of resourcefulness for those who have known how to drink its waters.

"[8] The Jazz Mann's Tim Owen described the album as "a beautifully balanced collection," and remarked: "It is impossible to know how much of this music is composed: strong themes emerge to punctuate the incessantly probing flow of ideas without disturbing its continuity.

Each player at times comes to the fore to determine the melodic and thematic shape of the music... No one mood prevails for long, but the transitions are never incongruous; the effect is utterly absorbing.
