Allmusic.com gave Discipline a 4 1/2 star review:
When King Crimson leader Robert Fripp decided to assemble a new version of the band in the early ’80s, prog rock fans rejoiced, and most new wave fans frowned. But after hearing this new unit’s first release, 1981’s Discipline, all the elements that made other arty new wave rockers (i.e., Talking Heads, Pere Ubu, the Police, etc.) successful were evident. Combining the futuristic guitar of Adrian Belew with the textured guitar of Fripp doesn’t sound like it would work on paper, but the pairing of these two originals worked out magically. … Many Crimson fans consider this album one of their best, right up there with In the Court of the Crimson King. It’s easy to understand why after you hear the inspired performances by this hungry new version of the band.
