Michael G. Nastos of [[AllMusic]] called the album "a surprisingly fine effort, ebbing and flowing from track to track, with McLaughlin's high-level musicianship shining through, same as it ever was."<ref name=Allmusic/>

In a 5-star review for [[DownBeat]], Ken Micallef commented: "this brilliant collective plays as a
single unit, not a band of hired studio guns... This is a case of Indian musicians using their extraordinary skills to explore U.S. fusion, giving the now 70-year-old guitarist an amazing platform for compositional/improvisational development. This is a landmark recording, marked by detail, subtlety and extraordinarily moving performances."<ref name="downbeat" />

John Kelman in [[All About Jazz]] wrote "One of the most fluent, evocative and powerful albums in a career filled with high points," and concluded: "McLaughlin's Indian friends may not have jazz in their blood the way it is in the guitarist's, but by approaching unmistakably western-informed music with an eastern mindset, they make ''Floating Point'' an album that, in McLaughlin's lengthy discography, is one of his most successful fusion records".<ref name=AllAboutJazz/>

Writing for [[The Guardian]], [[John Fordham (jazz critic)|John Fordham]] awarded the album 5 stars, and stated: "this boiling new set sounds as if it's driven at least as much by cutting-edge Indian crossover musicians as by McLaughlin himself... this is 99% an absolute cracker, and not just for guitar nuts either."<ref name=guardian />
