Specifying in a four star review by CCM Magazine , Matt Conner recognizes, "Science Fiction has the potential to give the critically acclaimed singer/songwriter widespread attention." [2] Marcus Hathcock, indicating in a five star review for New Release Tuesday, realizes, "Incredible pop songs throughout, Science Fiction presents a level of quality, artistry and accessibility that stands up to the heavy hitting pop acts of today, all the while staying true to the honesty of a Christian walk in progress." [9] Signaling in an eight out of ten review from Cross Rhythms, Andy Shaw replies, "There are plenty of infectious hooks to get stuck in your head and they may well stay there for a while." [5]
Christopher Smith, assigning the album four stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, reports, "With no skippable songs and a handful of standouts, Science Fiction is a fun and well-rounded album." [6] Mentioning in a three star review by Jesus Freak Hideout, David Craft declares, "Science Fiction is a strong project, but the sincerity that once permeated Thulin's music seems to be missing... Science Fiction is a good album, but I had hoped for a more cohesive and thought-out project." [7] Jono Davies, pegging the album as a four star release at Louder Than the Music, depicts, " Jonathan Thulin is a master at what he does and to hear his latest songs as a collection like this is a real treat."

[1] Brianne Bellomy, writing a three star review for CM Addict, advises, "As this is a compilation of a different set of sounds than what we have come to know Jonathan for, it still is an overall good album." [4] Writing a review for Christian Review Magazine, Leah St. John rating the album five stars, describes, "Science Fiction is a rare gem of an album, with a good variety of musical elements and genres coming into play and merging together beautifully."
