Robert Taylor at AllMusic gave Abstract Logic four stars out of five, calling it "a very good recording" but criticising Shawn Lane's guitar playing as inconsistent on the album. He praised Lane for sounding "positively demonic" and "demented, original and exciting" on some songs, but sounding too much like Allan Holdsworth on others.[1]

Personnel
gollark: Oh, so you just... don't get security updates?
gollark: Yes, we can all laugh at those people who have not obtained SSDs despite their cost.
gollark: Do you not care about random slow Windows updates or telemetry?
gollark: It has dubious security things - I think it sends off the key somewhere for recovery or something - and isn't as fine-grained as fscrypt.
gollark: That's been repurposed as a server, and will probably just have important data encrypted individually, since Linux lets you do that in a sane way.
