Reception The editors of AllMusic awarded the album a full five stars, and reviewer Thom Jurek wrote: "As an album, ''Transformation (The Speed of Love)'' is awe-inspiring, a work of progged-out jazz-rock that's as iconic as ''Birds of Fire'', ''Blow by Blow'', or ''Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy'', yet stands alone for its artful ambition and emotional commitment." Jon Davis, writing for Exposé Online, stated that the album "compares favorably with the classics of its time," although "Sancious plies his own path, with elements of Mahavishnu, but with some of the Eastern esoterica replaced by earthy American blues." ...
