In Record Collector, Alun Hamnett rated History of the Future 4 out of 5 stars, stating that Watter shows "new directions" in their sound on this release and recommended that readers "submerge yourself fully and allow to infuse for 47 minutes". At Stereogum, Chris DeVille called the title track "an alternately ominous and exhilarating jazz-infused slow creep that will make you want to hear more".
