Rock, Paper, Shotgun called it "remarkably clever[,] not just in the idea itself ... but in the construction of the puzzles which make use of that concept." According to Eurogamer, "Perspective looks to be an innovative puzzle/platformer". Gamezebo gave the game 5 out of 5, stating "the controls are spot on, the puzzles are consistently glorious, and it's all wrapped up in a neat little package." At the 2013 Independent Games Festival, Perspective was a finalist in the Technical Excellence category.
