In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "These are post-bop explorations, often rather dark in mood and giving all four musicians opportunities to set the direction and to interact with each other. The result is an album of high-quality modern jazz."[1]
A reviewer for All About Jazz stated: "Someday... puts Blackman into another light as a band leader who may now be really hitting her stride. This is after all, undoubtedly her most prescient and cohesive recording to date. It is a strong conceptual record with a very consistent aesthetic at play and moreover, one which does not fail to create some memorable moods... there is not a lot of hesitation here in giving this record an unqualified endorsement."[5]
Bill Shoemaker, writing for Jazz Times, commented: "You know when players are stepping up as leaders when they use the tradition as a means, not the end-all. Cindy Blackman does just that on Someday..., a program that liberally taps the Miles Davis book, but with a couple of pungent twists."[6]
