rick anderson of allmusic rated "one and one is one" 3/5 and said, "...nothing on this album is less than pleasant, but too, not much of it is more than just pleasant." jane cornwell of "the independent" said, "as with their live work, the album has been crafted to take the listener on a journey." "indian electronica" rated the album 5/5 and said, "titillating dabs and flourishes of tabla and sitar throughout the album seamlessly help construct without zero as a perfectly balanced aural landscape - naturally appealing to mind, feet and heart."
