In his review for Allmusic, Alex Henderson notes that "as eclectic and far-reaching as Plastic Temptation is, Caine and his associates never sound confused or unfocused. In fact, the 61-minute CD is admirably cohesive. Plastic Temptation will come as a surprise to those who associate Caine with jazz-minded interpretations of Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach, but it's an exciting journey if one is open to hearing a totally different side of the risk-taking musician".{{allMusic|first=Alex|last=Henderson|class=album|title=Uri Caine – Plastic Temptation > Review|id=mw0001323996|accessdate=September 10, 2014}}
