Indian Electronica 5/5 stars

Peggy Latkovich of AllMusic said of Walking On, "It's all delivered with lavish abandon and a sense of fun. Dig it."[2] Prasad Bidaye of Exclaim! said of the album, "It simply rocks, albeit in a different language, and that's rare in such instances of east-west fusion.[3]

Indian Electronica rated the album 5/5 and called it "...an extremely fun album that has oodles of 1960s/70s Bollywood Funk. Not cheesy, but 'paneery.'"[1] Biz of EthnoTechno said, "Folk instrumental melodies, phat beats, mesmerizing loops, and swirling flourishes of sonic waves. Have yourself a taste!"[4]
