Bush said the title track, which begins with a "statuesque synthesizer progression before unveiling an increasingly hypnotic line of trance", is the album's highlight. When they program in received semiclassical melodies and set the automatic drummer on 'bouncy swing,' the result is the soundtrack for a space travelogue you don't want to see." According to Allmusic 's John Bush, Stratosfear "shows the group's desire to advance past their stellar recent material and stake out a new musical direction" and also marks "the beginning of a more evocative approach for Tangerine Dream". Reviewing in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau said "I respect their synthesizer textures in theory, but these guys should leave the accessibility to Kraftwerk.
The title track "Stratosfear" has been played live many times and has been released in a re-mixed form on a number of other albums. The album marks the beginning of the band's development away from their uncompromising early 1970s synthesizer experiments toward a recognisably more melodic sound, a trend they would pick up again in 1979's Force Majeure. It was Peter Baumann's last studio album with the group. For instance, at the end of the last track, "Invisible Limits", the deep piano/flute tune reveals the album's romantic flavour even after the earlier predominantly synthetic compositions (tracks #1 to last part of track #4). Stratosfear combines Tangerine Dream's acoustic and electronic influences more tightly than before. Due to disputes between Tangerine Dream and Virgin, this mix was abandoned. Nick Mason of Pink Floyd did the original mix of Stratosfear in April 1976 at Hansa by the Wall.
