==Critical reception== {{Music ratings | rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{Rating|4|5}}<ref name="AM">{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/tempovision-mw0000010677|title=Etienne de Crécy – Tempovision Album Reviews, Songs & More|publisher=AllMusic|last=Carlson|first=Dean|access-date=5 February 2023}}</ref> }} Dean Carlson of AllMusic wrote that "Squiggling past looping divas, afternoon glares, and funkadelic body bops, De Crecy manages to manufacture a trail of songs that reach for that Anglo-French brass ring with nothing but admirable gravitas". He found "Out of My Hands" to have "bouncing squelches in the Zombie Nation-vein" and "Relax" to have "classically skewed big beat stomps", and concluded that the album is "probably a response to seeing De Crecy's own Air/Daft Punk disciples get the coiffured crossover treatment", hence its "pop diva production".<ref name="AM"/> ''Blender'' felt that listening to the album is "all in all, time well spent".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metacritic.com/music/tempovision/etienne-de-crecy|title=Tempovision by Etienne de Crécy Reviews and Tracks|publisher=Metacritic|access-date=5 February 2023}}</ref>
Reviewing the album for ''musicOMH'', Michael Hubbard found that "really on the whole it is chill-out room material, full of time signature changes (When Jack Met Jill) and random relaxing rhythms (Noname)", calling "Am I Wrong" the exception as it is "full of flangey synth, a riotous beat, diva-esque backing vocals and funky bass". Hubbard concluded that the listener should "switch off the lights and let [their] mind switch off", as "it is in such an environment that ''Tempovision'' comes across best".<ref name="OMH">{{cite web|url=https://www.musicomh.com/reviews/albums/etienne-de-crecy-tempovision|title=Etienne de Crecy – Tempovision {{!}} Album Reviews|website=musicOMH|last=Hubbard|first=Michael|date=23 October 2000|access-date=5 February 2023}}</ref>
