A reviewer of Sputnikmusic commented "For all we know inFinite may very well be Deep Purple’s final stand and for what is worth, it cannot be compared with anything that the legendary act released in their heydays. However, try to think of bands that play like Deep Purple and you will probably fail to recognize even one. inFinite with all its limitations is an apotheosis of character and talent, the work of a group of men who feel comfortable in their own skin and comfortable with each other, which is weird to even fathom when we come to think of the history of the band. At the end of the day if this is how this story ends, it is a happy end after all." [7] Paul Lester of Louder Sound stated "InFinite works best when Purple do what they do best: extrapolate and alchemize the blues and take it to new progressive heights". [5]
