Critical reception

Paul Simpson of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "Transports seven tracks are hypnotic, expansive, and unforced, with both artists seeming very comfortable in the studio." Maria Perevedentseva of The Quietus wrote, "Transport does not represent a paradigm shift nor an experimental frenzy, but what it does offer is a studied and disarmingly beautiful crystallisation of more than two decades of techno, produced by two people who have been at its cutting edge since the very beginning."

Rolling Stone placed it at number 19 on the "20 Best EDM and Electronic Albums of 2016" list.^[7]
