AllMusic	[1]

AllMusic's Richard S. Ginell noted that Ponty's "has opened up considerably", but that he "continues to explore the high-tech, electronic, sequenced ostinato world that he opened the door to on Individual Choice" and that the album is "very even... without any extreme peaks or dips".[1]
