The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow noted "none of the songs are all that memorable by themselves. This worthwhile if not particularly essential release is a bit of a historical curiosity".[4] On All About Jazz William Grim was more enthusiastic writing "Out of the entire recorded oeuvre of the Stan Kenton Orchestra, Adventures in Time is one of the most adventurous and musically satisfying records. ...While some critics have derided this album as bombastic and unjazzlike, Kenton and Richards were aiming for much more than the typical fare for a big band. What the Modern Jazz Quartet did in synthesizing the jazz combo and European chamber music, Kenton was doing in combining the big band with the complexities and sonorities of the traditional European orchestra. ...Adventures in Time sounds as breathtakingly modern today as it did when it was first released over forty years ago".[6]
