Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "A definite departure from the type of earthy, groove-oriented soul-jazz he usually embraced, Leaving This Planet is perhaps Charles Earland's most ambitious album – not necessarily his best, but certainly his most surprising. Responding to the fusion revolution, Earland plays keyboards and various synthesizers in addition to his usual Hammond B-3 organ and thrives in a very electric setting... he leaves no doubt just how much he's enjoying this surprising change of pace".[4]

gollark: Oh, I'm being stupid, it needs "bipropellant fuel tanks" *and* "oxidizer fuel tanks" or something like that.
gollark: (and the numbers weren't zero)
gollark: It said "clear for liftoff" when I scanned it.
gollark: I put in the space station ID chip and space station container, and it has fuel.
gollark: I'm trying to launch a space station, and it just repeatedly says "press space to take off" after the launch countdown.
