Critical reception
| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score =
Andy Hinds at AllMusic gave Uncertain Terms three stars out of five, describing it as following in the footsteps of its 1993 predecessor Introspection and being "Crammed full of completely over the top rock/fusion guitar solos". He praised Howe's guitar playing as having "unfathomable speed and stamina" and that he "has taken all of the innovations of Eddie Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen and expanded them to monstrous proportions." He also noted "5 Mile Limit" and "Stringed Sanity" as highlights.
