==Reception== The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Emphasizing long tones, contrasting sound with silence... This music moves slowly and requires a lot of patience by the listener."<ref name="Allmusic">Yanow, S.[http://www.allmusic.com/album/silent-feet-r149945 AllMusic Review] accessed September 9, 2011</ref>
DownBeat reviewer John Alan Simon gave the album 4 stars.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Simon |first=John Alan |date=April 5, 1979 |title=Record Reviews |journal=DownBeat |volume=46 |issue=7 |pages=26-28}}</ref> His review concludes, "Taken as a whole, Weber’s latest album is perhaps his weakest. But his strong points remain constant—a swirling evocation of aural landscapes, the creation of waking dreams for newly awakened sensibilities. If Weber's music puts some listeners to sleep, they were probably tired anyway".<ref name=":0" /> {{Album ratings | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{rating|3|5}}<ref name="Allmusic"/> | rev3 = ''The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide'' | rev3Score = {{rating|3|5}}<ref name=RSJRG>{{Cite book |editor-last=Swenson |editor-first=J. | author-link = | year = 1985 | title = The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | publisher = Random House/Rolling Stone | location = USA | isbn = 0-394-72643-X | pages = 205 }}</ref> | rev4 = ''DownBeat'' | rev4score = {{rating|4|5}}<ref name=":0" /> | rev2 = ''The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings'' | rev2score = {{Rating|3|4}}<ref name="Penguin">{{cite book |last1=Cook |first1=Richard |authorlink1=Richard Cook (journalist) |last2=Morton |first2=Brian |authorlink2=Brian Morton (Scottish writer) |title=The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings |year=2008 |edition=9th |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-0-141-03401-0 |page=1476}}</ref> }}
