Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 2½ stars, stating, "Ornette Coleman shows throughout that he had not mellowed with age, and his concise yet adventurous improvisations (which are full of pure melody) are quite intriguing". Steve Futterman of Entertainment Weekly commented "Both Sound Museum: Three Women and Sound Museum: Hidden Man mainly use the same compositions yet fairly burst with diversity. Whether his peers choose to follow him or not, Coleman still leads the jazz pack."
