In a review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick wrote that on Santuerio, the music, "here essentially an eight-part suite, took on a more elegiac, overtly spiritual tone. The pieces are draped around the loosest of thematic materials, the musicians instead using the wisps of ideas to gently launch into introspective investigations, occasionally coalescing into brief, more frenzied bouts, but generally remaining in a pensive state... Overall, it's an impressive achievement, showing a new side of this fascinating musician."[2]
The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 4 stars, and stated: "Santuerio marks Crispell's full emergence as a composer... much of the music is improvised, but it is linked by elemental structures... and a visionary spirit... Santuerio tackles huge themes, but there is nothing grandiose or overblown about it. The music is beautifully controlled and specific. Crispell's finest hour."[3]
