Allmusic.com gave Reflections a four star review:
The third solo album from Grateful Dead lead guitarist Jerry Garcia comes as the result of the band’s mini-hiatus from touring during late 1974 and most of 1975. Rather than auditioning a new combo, Garcia splits Reflections evenly between recordings made with the Dead as well as his Legion of Mary and Jerry Garcia Band side projects. As with his previous non-Dead effort, Garcia (Compliments of Garcia), this disc includes a blend of originals and cover tunes. Astute Deadheads will inevitably recognize that all four cuts featuring backing by the Dead had been part of their live repertoire for several years. Although only five of the tracks were co-authored by Garcia’s primary lyrical collaborator, Robert Hunter, all eight of them remained in Garcia’s solo set lists for the balance of his career. The material on this album is uniformly strong and includes some of the best studio work that the Dead had been involved in since American Beauty and Workingman’s Dead.
