In her review for Allmusic, Joslyn Layne notes that "Music for Violin Alone is the debut date as leader for virtuoso violinist Mark Feldman, who has performed as a sideman with countless musicians, in genres ranging from country to avant-garde jazz. Here he performs original, classically styled pieces that exude high drama".^[2] On All About Jazz Karla Cornejo Villavincencio said "The whole record is dedicated to the solo violin and the attention is well-deserved, Feldman's playing easily keeping the listener enraptured".^[4]
