Allmusic rated the album with 4 stars out of 5.[2] PopMatters correspondent John Garrett concluded the album was "Recommended for anyone looking to bridge their jazz and Americana tastes".[3]

Down Beat editor Frank Alkyner said "it’s the musicianship and kinship of these four musicians that make Bonebridge an absolute listening joy".[4] Writing for All About Jazz, Troy Collins noted "Bonebridge knits together a colorful patchwork of Americana that extends the sentimental resonance of rural folk traditions into exploratory new territory".[5] No Depression's Victor S. Aaron stated "Friedlander wanted to make a string music record, and he made a dandy one at that. The idea of putting together these two instruments from different musical worlds worked better than you think it might. The secret of this success comes from the leader himself: Friedlander's distinctive playing style is very melody-savvy and his unmatched plucking technique approximates the nimbleness of a well fingerpicked guitar"[6]
