Jennifer Kelly of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, commenting that "while Tree Colored See is not a radical departure from the Mystic Chords' self-titled first album, it is a somewhat more rhythmic and complex affair."[5] Rick Anderson of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, writing, "Those familiar with their work as separate entities won't be too surprised by the way they sound as a trio: imagine vague but attractive melodies sung in a gauzy, slightly adenoidal 1960s male whine (multi-tracked for maximum retro-psychedelic effect) and underpinned by weird but highly effective loops and rhythm samples."[3] He added, "The album ends with more of a whimper than a bang, but up until then everything is just interesting enough to keep you consistently intrigued."[3]
