Reception
At AllMusic, Wilson McCloy stated, "The Lion and the Ram is an underrated gem in the Coryell catalogue. It contains mostly acoustic guitar music and several outstanding original compositions. 'Bicentennial Head Fest', 'The Fifties', 'Domesticity', and 'Bach Lute Prelude' are fine examples of exciting, yet subtle and eclectic, improvisation-oriented guitar music."
