"What ultimately holds the album together, though, is the music, which is more consistently memorable even than that on Autobahn. Overall, Trans-Europe Express offers the best blend of minimalism, mechanized rhythms, and crafted, catchy melodies in the group's catalog".

"Trans-Europe Express is all at once antique, timeless, retro and contemporary. Its status as modern electronic music's birth certificate is well-earned, but its hallowed reputation should never be allowed to disguise its true value and power as a work of art. Nor should it obscure a longevity that, 32 years on, we might as well start calling by its real name: immortality".

"Although Autobahn was a left-field masterpiece, Trans-Europe Express is often cited as perhaps the archetypal (and most accessible) Kraftwerk album ... Overall, Trans-Europe Express offers the best blend of minimalism, mechanized rhythms, and crafted, catchy melodies in the group's catalog ...".

"På både Trans Europa Express (1977), Die Mensch-Maschine (1978) og Computerwelt (1981) forfiner gruppen en konceptuel klang- og billedkunst. Teksterne er ikke uvæsentlige, men i forhold til sædvanlige rock- og poptekster er de højst ledetråde for sangenes musik- og billeduniverser og oftest holdt i så neutrale og kryptiske udsagn, at Kraftwerk kan tages til indtægt for eksempelvis både begejstring og angst for den nye teknologi".
