Peggy Latkovich of AllMusic said of Walking On,"It's all delivered with lavish abandon and a sense of fun. Dig it." [2] Prasad Bidaye of Exclaim! said of the album,"It simply rocks,albeit in a different language,and that's rare in such instances of east-west fusion. [3]
Indian Electronica rated the album 5/5 and called it "...an extremely fun album that has oodles of 1960s/70s Bollywood Funk. Not cheesy,but 'paneery.'" [1] Biz of EthnoTechno said,"Folk instrumental melodies,phat beats,mesmerizing loops,and swirling flourishes of sonic waves. Have yourself a taste!" [4]

Intelligent dance music (IDM) is a style of electronic music originating in the early 1990s, defined by idiosyncratic experimentation rather than specific genre constraints. It emerged from the culture and sound palette of electronic styles such as ambient techno, acid house, Detroit techno and breakbeat; it has been regarded as better suited to home listening than dancing. Prominent artists associated with it include Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada, Amon Tobin, Higher Intelligence Agency, Telefon Tel Aviv, μ-Ziq, The Black Dog, The Future Sound of London, Mouse on Mars, Biosphere, Orbital and Luke Vibert.
