Critic Philip Whitehouse described it as "expansive, intriguing and engrossing material from the cream of the doom metal crop."[2] Derrick Koo of The Quietus remarked how "Shrinebuilder doesn't try to explore new territory, but it captures its players doing what they do best", but wondered if it is "possible for a supergroup like this one to truly step out of its predecessors' long shadows."[3] Classic Rock reviewer described the album as "the work of kindred spirits, (...) which allows each member's voice to shine through", and indicated the song "Blind for All to See" as the best track.[1]
