Allmusic 4.5/5 stars

Fleuve is an album by percussionist Pierre Favre recorded in 2005 and released on the ECM label.

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3½ stars stating "Fleuve is an album of gorgeous, flowing textures and sound colors that seduce the listener toward them, bringing them slowly along through the recording".All About Jazz correspondent Budd Kopman stated "Favre has created music of many layers that exists totally outside of any specific genre. By turns profound, exciting and overtly beautiful, Fleuve is art of the highest degree". On the same site John Kelman said "There are those who believe that percussionists don't make compelling composers and/or bandleaders. Favre's small but significant body of work for ECM lays waste to any such claims, with Fleuve the best argument yet".
