''The Guardian's'' John Fordham said, "It’s not always comfortable listening, but it’s an intriguing reunion of jazz pioneers."<ref name="Guardian">Fordham, J., [https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jan/29/jack-dejohnette-made-in-chicago-review Jack DeJohnette: Made in Chicago review – intriguing reunion of free jazz pioneers], ''The Guardian'', January 30, 2015</ref>
''All About Jazz'' reviewer Karl Ackermann said, "DeJohnette, was given free rein to assemble a band and create a program and with the fiftieth anniversary of the AACM at hand he could not have paid a more fitting tribute to an organization that fosters imaginative thinking. More to the point of the music, to hear these veterans express the love of their work in a powerful, forward looking set that's not likely to be repeated."<ref name="AAJ">{{cite web |url=https://www.allaboutjazz.com/made-in-chicago-jack-dejohnette-ecm-records-review-by-karl-ackermann.php |title=Jack DeJohnette: Made in Chicago |first=Karl |last=Ackermanm |website=All About Jazz |date=March 11, 2015 }}</ref>
''The Daily Telegraph's'' Ivan Hewitt noted, "the range of expression these five players draw from their instruments is astonishing... This album may not be an easy listen, but it’s certainly a rewarding one."<ref name="Telegraph">Hewitt, I.

''PopMatters''{{'}} John Garratt said, "All things considered, ''Made in Chicago'' is an aggressively great album, both crazy and tender in its art... It’s an electrifying concert, a rare reunion (a word that sounds too trite at the moment) and a far out aggregate."<ref name="PopMatters">{{cite web|url=http://www.popmatters.com/review/191306-jack-dejohnette-made-in-chicago/|title=Jack DeJohnette: Made in Chicago|website=PopMatters|last=Garratt|first=John|date=March 23, 2015|accessdate=September 14, 2016}}</ref>
Listing it among his ten favorite albums of the 2010s, Rob Shepherd of PostGenre noted, "''[Made in Chicago]'' is already a lasting tribute to not just the AACM and its enduring legacy but the city of Chicago itself which has fostered such music."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://postgenre.org/rob-shepherds-favorite-jazz-albums-of-the-2010s/|title = Rob Shepherd's Favorite Jazz Albums: 2009-2019|date = 25 December 2019}}</ref>
