Critical reception
Horizons has received positive reviews. Sonic Perspectives's Josh Muncke wrote, "Horizons is truly a step forward for Starset, and arguably a demonstration of them at their best. They've taken their past releases and distilled them all into an optimised collection of tracks, whilst introducing some new ideas to continue the concept narrative."[5]
Wall of Sound lauded the album, singling out the tracks "Otherworldly", "Icarus", and "Symbiotic" as highlights.[6] Writing for Kerrang!, Steve Beebee opined that "the galactic sense of scale in Horizons' orchestration enables all sixteen tracks to massage the emotions" and praised Starset for "explor[ing] our vulnerability, our very humanity".[4]
