The Quietusfavorable[9]

Paul Simpson of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "Transport's seven tracks are hypnotic, expansive, and unforced, with both artists seeming very comfortable in the studio."[7] Maria Perevedentseva of The Quietus wrote, "Transport does not represent a paradigm shift nor an experimental frenzy, but what it does offer is a studied and disarmingly beautiful crystallisation of more than two decades of techno, produced by two people who have been at its cutting edge since the very beginning."[9]

Rolling Stone placed it at number 19 on the "20 Best EDM and Electronic Albums of 2016" list.[10]
