Critical reception
Andy Hinds at AllMusic gave Maximum Security 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it "much better" than MacAlpine's 1986 debut album Edge of Insanity, and "essential listening for anyone interested in instrumental guitar music." He went on to say "The album's captivating neoclassical/fusion forays are filled with plenty of beautiful melodies and hair-raising solos; MacAlpine simply lights up the fretboard—and the keyboard, for that matter. ... The variety of textures on this album—not to mention a wealth of beautiful melodies—keep it continually interesting." He also listed "Autumn Lords", "Hundreds of Thousands", "Tears of Sahara" and "Porcelain Doll" as highlights.
