Dean Carlson of AllMusic wrote that "Squiggling past looping divas, afternoon glares, and funkadelic body bops, De Crecy manages to manufacture a trail of songs that reach for that Anglo-French brass ring with nothing but admirable gravitas". He found "Out of My Hands" to have "bouncing squelches in the Zombie Nation-vein" and "Relax" to have "classically skewed big beat stomps", and concluded that the album is "probably a response to seeing De Crecy's own Air/ Daft Punk disciples get the coiffured crossover treatment", hence its "pop diva production". [3] Blender felt that listening to the album is "all in all, time well spent". [4]
Reviewing the album for musicOMH, Michael Hubbard found that "really on the whole it is chill-out room material, full of time signature changes (When Jack Met Jill) and random relaxing rhythms (Noname)", calling "Am I Wrong" the exception as it is "full of flangey synth, a riotous beat, diva-esque backing vocals and funky bass". Hubbard concluded that the listener should "switch off the lights and let [their] mind switch off", as "it is in such an environment that Tempovision comes across best". [1]
