Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote: "Recalling such unhip icons as Fleetwood Mac and Carole King, as well as more contemporary sounds of Sarah McLachlan, Science Fair sees Gryner on the verge of a breakthrough, in terms of developing her own voice." [6]

AllMusic wrote that the album "has substance and succeeds in every way by relying on beautiful melodies, skillful musicianship, and the heartfelt performances of a remarkably gifted young artist." [1]
