Louis Patterson of BBC Music rated Without Zero 3.5/5 and called it "A spirited, experimentally minded soundclash that's as fun as it is inspired."[1] Stewart Mason of AllMusic rated the album 3.5/5 and said, "...there's nothing here that will change the mind of anyone thus far resistant to Shamsher's cross-cultural charms."[2]
Derek of EthnoTechno said, "On his third Real World Release all the descriptive words fly out the window, and you're left with an album to dance to, to contemplate, and most of all, to thoroughly enjoy."[3] Qasim Virjee of Indian Electronica rated the album 5/5 and described it as "high degrees of aural texturing".[4]
