The album received dominantly positive reviews. It was criticized for the vocals and Kraftwerk-esque drum sound, but was praised for its context referencing Tolkien.[3][6] Sputnik describes the band's sound as bombastic and unique because the synths provide medieval sounds, giving it an amazing result when fused with guitars.[4][2] Metal Storm considers the album as one of the most appreciated black metal releases.[5][7]
