The staff at All About Jazz gave Hyperacuity a positive review, calling it "Howe's best release to date" and praising his playing as having evolved from his previous shred-oriented releases.[4] Paula Edelstein at AllMusic gave the album four stars out of five, describing it as an "instrumental extravaganza comprised of fusion compositions that highlight Howe's incredible techniques and melodic flair." She noted "Blindfold Drive", "Order of Dawn", "Heat Activated", Howe's cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish", and the title track as highlights.[1]
