Allmusic.com gave Masque a 3 1/2 star review:
Kansas’ third album, Masque, is a lyrically dark effort courtesy of guitarist/keyboardist Kerry Livgren’s brooding songwriting. Musically, Masque foreshadows the tight melodies and instrumental interplay on the next two albums, Leftoverture and Point of Know Return, which together serve as the peak of Kansas’ vision. The band deserves more respect than it gets for incorporating British hard rock and progressive rock to become the only U.S. progressive rock band of note during the genre’s 1970s heyday.
