Allmusic.com gave Platinum a 3 star review:
With this album, Oldfield began to make an attempt to break down his extended structures into a more commercially acceptable format, with the side-long title track being separated into four sections. Early versions of the album included “Sally,” Oldfield’s paean to his partner Sally Cooper, while later pressings include “Into Wonderland.”
