In a review for AllMusic, Ron Wynn described the album as a "solid quintet date."[2]
Jacob Garchik, writing for Ethan Iverson's web site, noted that, in comparison with Rudd's previous releases, "Mysterioso" finds him "really playing quite inside, with a more grounded vocabulary, but still with his characteristic bravado and inventiveness."[8]
Author Todd S. Jenkins stated that the album has an "aura of relaxed inventiveness."[9]
