Innerstanding received a score of 72 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception.[1] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic called it "an ever-shifting, meditative record occupying a space somewhere between close listening and ambience. Despite its reliance on mood, this is not instrumental music, nor is it all hushed".[2] Mojo felt that "Innerstanding finds Harrison marking out his own territory, sustaining a brooding musical atmosphere and filling it with sterling melodies", and Classic Rock opined that it "maintains In//Parallel's intrinsic style and pan-genre forward momentum, a seamless, pop-literate/prog-friendly fusion positively peppered with an abundance of barbed hooks".[3] Uncut found that "it's only on the lengthy, ambient, vaporous 'La Sirena' and the pretty, dramatic ballad 'ICU' that everything gels together".[5]
