Alex Henderson of AllMusic praised the album saying "One of Lenny White's finest, most essential albums, The Adventures of Astral Pirates is a jazz-fusion masterpiece with a futuristic science-fiction theme....This set isn't the least bit predictable, and it could easily be described as "the sound of surprise"—critic Whitney Balliett's term for jazz—even though no one will mistake it for straight-ahead bop any time soon."[3]
