Critical reception
Richard S. Ginell of AllMusic, in his review of Future Shock, noted "some real, honest-to-goodness jazz licks on a grand piano show up in the middle of Auto Drive." Marke Bieschike of DJ Mag, from his review of the album, wrote "The propulsive bass, chiming proto-house piano, and squiggly ornamentation of 'Autodrive' fit right into the 12" mix expansionism that was then ruling dancefloors." David Adler of All About Jazz found "tasty single-note lines on 'Autodrive'."
