Critical reception

Andy Hinds at AllMusic gave Out of the Sun 1.5 stars out of five, calling it "an undistinguished set of standard neoclassical shred instrumentals" and criticizing Tafolla for copying MacAlpine too much. He remarked that Tafolla "shows plenty of talent, but not much personality here. On this early effort, Taffola hasn't found his voice yet."
