According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Endlessness received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 83 out of 100 from 13 critic scores.[5]

Adriane Pontecorvo of PopMatters stated, "The complexities of this riveting LP are laced with autumnal breezes, beautiful gradients, and careful explorations in exceptional detail that sometimes hit a simmer but never sweat."[15] Daniel Felsenthal of Pitchfork commented that "The LP has the potential to be a relaxed listen if you welcome this side of its personality, but it's also vast and complicated."[14] Paul Simpson of AllMusic called the album "refreshing, enlightening, and awe-inspiring all at once."[8]

It co-won the Best Jazz Record award at the 2025 Libera Awards.[18]
