Reviewer Alex Henderson stated on AllMusic " this LP leaves no doubt that the improviser is very much his own man and has a wealth of brilliant ideas of his own; thankfully, he has a cohesive band to help him carry them out ... Astral Traveling is among Smith's most essential and rewarding albums". [3]
