In a review for Distorted Sound, James Halstead said that "the real strength of Ode to the Flame is its diversity in sonic assault".[5] Joseph Collins of the CVLT Nation said that "with the release of their venomous sophomore release entitled Ode to the Flame on Nuclear Blast, Mantar are poised to salt the earth and burn everything within their sight".[12] In his closing comments, Yidu Sun of Metal Wani, said that "'Ode to the Flame' is a crushing, appropriately melodic, and dynamic sludge metal album that is intelligent and mature but lacks in personality".[8] Shawn Miller of The Metal Observer said that "'Ode to the Flame' is a step in the right direction for Mantar" and added that "[the album] offers much to enjoy and will definitely be a contender for many year end best of lists".[11]
