John Bush of AllMusic said, "Taken as a whole, Journey Inwards is an album of pure brilliance, a work that trumps many of Bukem's past productions, and signals, for what may be the first time, that his production talents are actually growing and developing. "[3] Prasad Bidaye of Exclaim! described the album as "a simple but sophisticated expression of warmth, optimistic, and still danceable, sensibilities."[4]
