With the exception of a four star Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide review, the majority of recorded reception for the Affinity album came significantly later than its original release. Overall, reviewers maintain positive notes about the work. Two reviewing websites grant the album three out of five stars. One of which is Scott Yanow on Allmusic who states "Excellent if not essential music that Evans generally uplifts". The other three star rating comes from Rateyourmusic, though there is only one user review on Rateyourmusic that gives Affinity a five star review. A third review site, Elliotmusicreview has no star rating system, but states that Affinity is in many ways one of Evans' easier albums to digest thanks to the addition of Toots Theilmans on the record.
