Writing for AllMusic, John Serba said the album was "consistently excellent in both song and performance" and "any fan of the melodic European death metal scene should foam at the mouth upon hearing Nightrage's debut."[1]
Blabbermouth was more critical of the album, calling it an "above average slab of melodic crunch that can at different points be both skilful and disparate."[2]
