Tim DiGravina of AllMusic said: "While some of the group's contemporaries were releasing somewhat blundering, meandering albums, Alpha hit the ball out of the park with Stargazing and redefined intelligent and passionate electronic soul music." [1] John Bergstrom of PopMatters called it "peaceful, intense and ultimately inspiring." [2]
