Todd Jenkins stated in All About Jazz that "Ponty shows he’s up to the task of carrying the spirit of fusion into the new millennium instead of just mining the same old spent lodes. Though it was a while in coming, Life Enigma was worth every minute of the wait."[2] Glenn Astarita stated that "if you're expecting some of the innovative pyrotechnics and high-octane jazz-fusion witnessed on some of his previous sessions you might be disappointed."[3] Ken Dryden in AllMusic proclaimed, "This is easily one of Jean-Luc Ponty's most compelling releases."[1]
