Metal Hammer Germany observed that on this release Schandmaul had returned to being "bards" that tell stories of folklore. The track "Märchenmond" was reviewed as close to progressive rock, while the instrumental tracks were generally called "average".[3] The Sonic Seducer noted the various folk instruments used for the recordings and the diverse musical styles like bossa nova ("Tangossa"), Irish folk ("Little Miss Midleton") and epic guitar rock.[3] The reviewer for Rock Hard wrote that although the production was flawless, the album did not reflect the band's full potential and should have contained more hard rock tracks.[4]
The album peaked at position two in the German Media Control Charts while the single "Euch zum Geleit" reached position 85.[5] It was nominated for the 2014 ECHO award.[6] In 2015, Unendlich was certified gold status in Germany for 100,000 sold copies.[7]
