ArtScience was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 78 based on eight reviews.

AllMusic's Thom Jurek praised the album, stating that it is an "excellent step forward". Ryan B. Patrick of Exclaim! wrote: "at this point, Glasper, along with bassist Derrick Hodge, saxophonist Casey Benjamin, and drummer Mark Colenburg, are a well-oiled musical machine. As the Robert Glasper Experience, the quartet embrace jazz as they steer the genre into exciting directions". John Fordham of The Guardian wrote: "Glasper has signaled an impatience with jazz on earlier Experiment ventures, but very definitely not on this one". Marcus J. Moore of Pitchfork found the album "the Robert Glasper Experiment's most realized effort, mainly because they've stopped relying on outside talent to get their point across. They've created their own vibe, one that needed their own voices to truly resonate". Adriane Pontecorvo of PopMatters wrote: "an ingenious blend of soulful tunes and undeniable technique, ArtScience signals a bright, self-reliant future for the Robert Glasper Experiment".
