[1] It features Potter with keyboardist James Francies, bass guitarist Linley Marthe and drummer Eric Harland.

[3] Writing for All About Jazz, Sammy Stein summarised the album by saying "Circuits is a terrific recording, and what it does is show Potter at his show-stopping best.

[2] Dave Jones of Jazz Journal also gave a positive review, opining that "This is definitely an album to savour, with strong compositions and excellent playing from a well-chosen team".

[4] In The Times, Chris Pearson noted the stylistic departure from Potter's recent ECM Records releases, saying "Chris Potter is one of the world’s best saxophonists, a master at mixing modern musical genres with conviction, but it has been hard to embrace the diffuse, introspective discs he has recorded of late.

With Circuits, his first release with the British label Edition, he consciously gets back to the groove and the result is a relief.
