AllMusic[1]

Jim Ferguson, writing for JazzTimes, noted that the album had a "number of guest musicians, several of whom he [Jim Hall] had really never played with before." He called it "a concept project within the context of a live recording", and said that "the idea behind Panorama is as clever as Hall's playing is brilliant."[2]

Richard S. Ginell of AllMusic wrote that "Jim Hall's previous two Telarcs...were so adventurous and out-of-perceived-character that this...might seem like a step backwards at a superficial glance." He compared it to "a revolving door full of guest soloists...each one of whom offers a different slant on what jazz ought to be." He finished his review with the remark of "one can only imagine the fascination of the habitually superattentive patrons of the Vanguard at all of this diversity."[1]
