Critical reception
In a three-and-a-half-star review, Alex Henderson of AllMusic has referred to Frequency as "a very moody" but at the same time "also very accessible" album, concluding that despite substantial line-up changes, "it illustrates IQ's ability to continue providing memorable and very digestible progressive rock 28 years after the band's formation".
