| AllMusic |    [4] |
The Chicago Tribune called the album "a mix of light jazz, funk and a smattering of world music to make it all seem somehow exotic."[5]
AllMusic wrote that "though there's a bit more electronics on this record, [Orbit] still seems uncommonly fixated with textural touches like Spanish guitar, and the effect is much more Windham Hill than Warp."[4]
