Threefold Recital received "generally favorable" from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic. The Sixth Axis gave the game an 8, admiring that it "provides a good philosophical journey about life", but chastises that "some chapters can drag". Genghis Husameddin, from XboxEra, also rated the game an 8, adoring the pleasant visuals and music as well as its frequent use of mini-games to pace progression, but disfavors that some of the "information presented can be a bit confusing".
Will Silberman of Digital Chumps scored it a 7, complimenting that the game "does an excellent job in telling a thoughtful tale of beastlings bound to Daoist philosophy", but castigates the "simplicity of the platforming". Noisy Pixel rated the game a 7.5 out of 10, stating that it "masterfully combines a rich Eastern-inspired aesthetic with innovative gameplay and heartfelt storytelling" whilst criticizing that "some characters are under-explored by the end of the game" and "some missions are missable by the end of a chapter."
VICE's Shaun Cichacki gave Threefold Recital a "Recommended" rating, praising "the high-quality art, cutesy style and plenty of tough but necessary conversations", but feels that "some of the translation feels a little stiff and off".
