The album received unanimous praise from critics, who praised the liveliness, innovation and experimentation of the record.
Tony Montague of The Georgia Straight said "Otherworld is as close to perfection as any recording of instrumental Celtic music I can recall, and there aren't enough fresh superlatives to praise it adequately," calling the band's musicianship "flawless" and the tunes "excellent," adding "the arrangements are impressively innovative."[REF]
