AllMusic |     [1] |
Richard S. Ginell at AllMusic awarded Earth Run 2.5 stars out of 5, calling it "a more interesting record than most of its immediate predecessors" and noting the "peculiarly fuzzy, futuristic sound" of Ritenour's SynthAxe guitar synthesizer (as depicted on the cover art; one of nine different guitars used on the album). He also listed "The Sauce" and the cover of Herbie Hancock's "Butterfly" as highlights.
