In his review for AllMusic, David R. Adler states, "Like much of what Iyer creates under his own name, this music has the distinction of being toe-tappingly accessible and yet, on a technical level, nearly incomprehensible. It is a highly specialized language, to be sure, but also an endlessly refreshing one."{{allMusic|last=Adler|first=David R.|class=album|id=mw0000230534|title=Fieldwork – Your Life Flashes: Review|access-date=August 10, 2017}}

The JazzTimes review by Aaron Steinberg suggests, "Fieldwork's musicians have absorbed the highly rhythmic, dryly funky style that came out of the M-Base school and have adapted it to a cutting modern acoustic jazz setting. What sets Fieldwork apart, however, is the trio’s fervent and unwavering embrace of rhythm and attack."Steinberg, Aaron.

The All About Jazz review by Dan McLenaghan states, "Your Life Flashes sounds foreign and familiar and avant-garde and mainstream all at the same time."McLenaghan, Dan.
