Exclaim!, critic reviewer Chris Bryson said "
Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam sees the band finding new pockets to dwell in and galaxies to explore. One of the Comet Is Coming's most distinguishing aspects is the massiveness of their sound, and that comes through again on Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam — the crisp, deft drums, the bass crunch, the alien-firefly-weaving-through-the-sky sax, and the kaleidoscopic synths that fill in the rest." Laurie Presswood of
The Skinny described the release as "bass-laden and synthesised, with shimmering inverted pedals that set the stage for extraterrestrial adventures in jazz."
