Adam Wilding from The Music said "The third album from the Blue Mountains trio was four years in the making and has stepped away from the dream pop that soaked their much-lauded albums Bliss Release and Dream Cave. Having lost a bass player but gained production skill (lead singer Alister Wright recorded and mixed the album) Zone reveals a band that have grown up."[9]
Nastassia Baroni from Music Feeds said "Zone took longer than expected to come together. But, with time comes finesse, and Zone is rich with sonic exploration, musical innovation and emotional perception."[10]
Perth Underground said "With the band wielding complete control over the album, Zone possesses the dreamy, psych-infused sound that initially marked Cloud Control as a stalwart fixture in Australia’s music scene, while also evoking feelings of loss and nostalgia."[8]
Langdon Hickman from Treblezine said "Cloud Control deliver a psychically confused record on Zone" adding "Cloud Control shows a firm grasp of song structures that don’t allow the tune to tire out before they cut the tape and enough production acumen to give each section its own identifiable trait."[11]
