described Notaker's style in Infinite as "spacey, adventurous buildups and heavy, technical drops into a progressive sound that thrives in the mid-tempo range". Timmy Kusnierek of Your EDM stated "''Infinite'' centres around the obscure rumbles of a far-off nebula, waxing into a space-faring adventure as a classic progressive synth leads the way", further stating "Overall, the entire production creates a celestial atmosphere that’s too rich to ignore". Petar Lazarevic of We Rave You stated "''Infinite'', combines spacey overtones sounded out by metallic, hollow atmosphere with a thumping, deep bassline and a simplistic melody into a punchy house offering". Brian poles of This Song Slaps described Infinite as a song that plays more as a story than a piece of music, stating "the progression through the song through additions and omissions of sounds and going from hard from the first drop to a softer and more melodic final drop tells the story of traveling through space in a great way". John Carr of Global Dance Electronic described the production as a cross between "the dark realm of French Techno and the ethereal atmosphere of trance for a sound that can fit into a myriad of DJ sets and stand out as an epic moment". Joe Hoffman of Dance and Rave stated "''Infinite'', is a gloriously dynamic blend of melodic and dark, and Progressive and Bass, and is sure to win a lot of fans over with its fluid progressions".
