Awarding the album two stars from Alternative Press , Dan Slessor states, "Indicator is a record for the already converted, and there’s nothing wrong with that, per se." [2] Ian Webber, rating the album a seven out of ten for Cross Rhythms, writes, "With this release OTO have produced a competent third recording. It may well be lost amongst more established acts but will certainly be appreciated by their fans." [3] Giving the album four stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Scott Fryberger says, "Onward To Olympas have another solid hardcore album in Indicator." [4] Jonathan Anderson, awarding the album two and a half stars by The New Review, describes, "Indicator simply has not reached the bar set by its predecessors." [5]
