In///Parallel received generally positive reviews from critics upon release. On Metacritic it received a weighted score of 74/100 based on 7 reviews indicating "generally favorable reviews".{{cite web|url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/inparallel/dhani-harrison|title=Reviews and Tracks for In Parallel by Dhani Harrisono|website=Metacritic|access-date=August 26, 2018}} Stephen Erlewine from AllMusic gave the album a 3.5/5 stars saying "Harrison exudes a quiet confidence, letting IN///PARALLEL unfold surely and steadily, keeping the music meditative and slightly trippy. By some criteria, the circular melodies could be classified as psychedelic, but Harrison's concerns are in the present, not the past. He layers IN///PARALLEL with all manner of electronics, relying on drum loops and synthesizers to create his darkly alluring pop".
