Allmusic.com gave Azure D’Or a 3 star review:
This is one of the better late-era Renaissance albums from the original continuity of the “mark II” lineup of the group (which is the one everyone knows). It’s also something of a step up from the two preceding albums, with lush, melodic passages, beautiful lyrics, and some splendid playing by all concerned. … Still, the overall sound is compelling, and when Haslam gets a piece of music into which she can sink her teeth, such as “The Flood at Lyons,” the results are breathtaking.
