Ian Patterson of All About Jazz , in a 3/5-star review, exclaimed "Essentially, this is a hard grooving rock album, while possessing elements of the exploration and improvisation that characterized the jazz-rock and fusion of his early career, and more besides. White has never stood still or rested on his laurels, and in spite of Anomaly's roster of heavyweight fusion musicians, the music is nicely varied, with rock, funk, fusion—and the R&B that increasingly colored his releases in the '90s—all featured here. There is definitely a harder rocking edge to much of the music, compared to the rest of his discography...Anomaly is a fine addition to White's discography, with the drummer at the height of his considerable playing powers."
