Reception
Allmusic awarded the album with 4.5 stars and its review by Scott Yanow states: "This outing is very electronic and does not quite reach the heights of Steps Ahead's earlier Elektra album, but it certainly has plenty of spirit and power.".{{Citation |last=Yanow |first=Scott |title=AllMusic Review: Modern Times |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/modern-times-mw0000201405#review |access-date=2024-03-23 |language=en}}
