Critical reception

The album was received positively upon release, with reviewers praising experimental nature of the album, with Pitchfork's Grayson Currin writing that "Every listen to a Blut Aus Nord album, no matter how familiar, seems to reveal a new pattern or seam that you've missed only because it's so well integrated. If black metal was once the primordial punk rock of some angry and infamous kids, it is, for Blut Aus Nord, the foundation for a very ornate institution." Pitchfork's Brandon Stosuy later named it the 4th best metal album of 2012, praising its "chiming group melodies, psychedelic guitars, swirling beds of electronics, and post-metal hooks".
