Benjamin Hedge Olson from PopMatters said that the album is "another predictable yet satisfying slab of black metal", rating it 6 out of 10.[2]

Kyle Ward from Sputnikmusic was more negative about the release, rated it 2 out of 5 and "was not pleased that a leader of that scene devolved into run-of-the-mill black metal."[3]
