Ken Dryden from AllMusic said "This is a pleasant, well-engineered CD, with obvious comparisons in spots to the late Nashville guitar master Chet Atkins."[3]

Fred Kraus from Minor 7th said "Speed, melody, tone, songwriting skill,versatility -- Emmanuel effortlessly displays it all on his 17th collection, The Mystery. adding "Emmanuel proves skillful without being flashy; calm without being soporific; thoughtful without being pedantic. He remains faithful to the melody, using his exceptional guitar work to support the essence of the song. Very nice stuff."[4]
