The Washington Post wrote that, "as is demonstrated by such pieces as the flamenco 'Solea' or 'Conductus', a 12th-century processional, Radio Tarifa also moves assuredly from the cafe to the cathedral."[14] The Guardian determined that "it's postmodern early music, for want of a funkier phrase, poised, surprising, inspiring, throbbing with percussion and sweeping the listener with Arabic instrumentation and Andalucian voices."[15]
Guitar Player concluded that "scholars and romantics alike will be seduced by their soulful vocals, explosive percussion, and superb fretwork."[16] The Globe and Mail deemed Temporal "a wonderful combination of Mediterranean styles."[17] The St. Paul Pioneer Press called it "a dizzy, danceable stew of Afro-Latin rhythms."[18]
AllMusic noted that "the ensemble concentrates on traditional material from Iberia, with pieces culled from Galician, Andalucian, Castilian, and Flamenco culture."[12]
