Ned Raggett of AllMusic praised the album, writing that "it very much is what is promised, a collaboration between Roy Montgomery and Bardo Pond that lives up to the experimental and exploratory heights both are easily capable of. [...] Unlike the group's semi-namesake, Hash Jar Tempo doesn't punish and haunt so much as it does engagingly trip out, with the right head-nodding pace and echoing chimes that will attract both older stoners and younger shoegaze freaks. There are certainly some pretty intense moments, though -- the fourth track is one of the best, a subtly relentless freakout that feels like slow magma crushing everything before it, with some wild guitar work deep in the mix."[3] Italian magazine OndaRock named it one of their "milestone" albums, with Francesco Nunziata calling the album a "masterpiece" & comparing the music to acts as diverse as Popol Vuh, Klaus Schulze, Chrome & early Pink Floyd.[4] The magazine's editors would go on to rank it the 17th best psychedelic album of all time.[5]
