Music journalist Ned Raggett of allmusic gave the album four out of five stars, saying "the roars of blastbeats and distorted vocals are there as ever, but it's much more of a shuddering wave than complete destruction, a slow, perfect crushing that finally pauses before roaring back even more skitterishly."^[1]
