The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Lacy offered an alternative way to play free jazz, contrasting sound and silence and taking thoughtful and often-scalar improvisations not absent of melody and lyricism, but still quite adventurous and unpredictable. This is one of many excellent recordings of Lacy's music".[5] Reviewing the CD reissue for All About Jazz Glenn Astarita said "Cliches is absolutely essential listening for fans of this brilliant soprano saxophonist-composer! ... the indications are that of a world class musician who along with his estimable bandmates present the jazz world with 63-minutes of music magic as Cliches is yet another noteworthy addition to Steve Lacy’s distinguished recorded legacy!".[6]
