Dalia Cohen of Exclaim! wrote, "After almost a decade of silence from one of hip-hop's most beloved crews, Ladybug of Digable Planets is back with a solo debut. Long time Digable fans might be surprised to hear the new sounds of Ladybug. Trip the Light Fantastic is definitely not another Blowout Comb. This album is diversely beautiful; it's an aural documentation of Ladybug's journey through love, life, religion, spirituality and raising four kids. She represents lovely singing, scatting and rapping over rock, pop, hip-hop, samba, salsa, funk, soul, nu-jazz and electronic beats."
