The Penguin Guide to Jazz	(Crown award)^[1]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the record one of its rare crown accolades and notes that "the introduction of Barry Guy as co-composer is the key factor in our very high rating for this record. It is he who balances the rather tender and melancholic cast of Riley's playing."^[1]

In a review for Record Collector, Ian McCann stated that, in relation to Angle, recorded the previous year, The Day Will Come "boasts one of the great baffling sleeves of its era, but has more musical clarity: witness the pensive 'Sad Was the Song' and 'Winter'. There's less urgency here – perhaps time has given the threesome the understanding to not have to try so hard – and it's by far the better album."^[2]
