Reception

Writing at All About Jazz, John Eyles described The Letter as "transcend genre", and Frith's songs as "melodic... provid the group with plenty of scope for embellishment". He said the album "hangs together well", adding that Kihlstedt's violin has "inflections carrying great emotional weight", and Frith's guitar as "fluid interwoven with wordless vocals, to stunning effect" on "Common Sense".
