AllMusic awarded Cyclos four out of five possible stars. [17] Offering a contrasting opinion was Keyboard, who was disappointed by the compositions and called them "cupcake music, in other words-not hard to describe, very little like either the Orb or Tangerine Dream, and not very important either, though perfectly adequate for airplay on Hearts of Space." [18] Magical Blend said while the album is not as captivating as its influences, namely Cluster and Tangerine Dream, the music is "a captivating listen-a perfect soundtrack for a hot summer night, with a chorus of crickets in the background." [19]
