The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars out of 5, stating "For People in Sorrow is not only a fitting tribute to Mitchell, the work, the AEC, and AACM, but proves a new high-water mark for Cline in terms of discipline, openness, and vision".[2] Writing for JazzTimes, Mike Shanley stated "This rendition makes for an intense listen that stands as both a singular statement and a salute to the composer".[3]
