MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide called the album "one of the lost mini-masterpieces of the '90s." Trouser Press wrote that "between the intricate vocal arrangements, the endless attractive music and Husik’s inventive playing, Joyride is the pinnacle of her pop art."[5] The Washington Post called the album "wispily psychedelic," writing that "there's little tension in its evocation of altered-state bliss."[1] Billboard wrote that "Husik's soft, sensual alto ... rises above the current bumper crop of girly voices."[6] CMJ New Music Monthly called it "a remarkably fluid song-cycle of sublety."[7]
