Stefan Friedrich, who peer reviewed the album for Laut.de, Discovery does not stop for a second Homework. What Daft Punk on the album sometimes lacked was the necessary pressure behind the songs and a slightly clearer direction where the expedition should go.

Ryan Schreiber -reviewed Discovery for the e -zine Pitchfork. Progressive rock and disco had never actually asked to open a hybrid, but the album is a living "Franken Baby" this new-born genre, whether it likes it or not.
