Critical reception

John Bush from AllMusic said "The climax of Astral Projection's search for intelligent trance, Dancing Galaxy offers wave after wave of exquisitely produced acid lines on tracks like "No One Ever Dreams," "Soundform" and the title track." Dunpeal from Sputnikmusic said "If a time traveling DJ left the keys to his spaceship in the ignition and you were wasted off your ass, this is probably what it would sound like."
