The staff at All About Jazz gave Hyperacuity a positive review, calling it "Howe's best release to date" and praising his guitar playing as having evolved from his previous shred-oriented releases.[3] Paula Edelstein at AllMusic described the album as an "instrumental extravaganza comprised of fusion compositions that highlight Howe's incredible techniques and melodic flair." She listed "Blindfold Drive", "Order of Dawn", "Heat Activated", Howe's cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish", and the title track as highlights.[2]
