Reception[edit]
| Review scores | |
|---|---|
| Source | Rating |
| Folk N' Metal | 10/10[2] |
| Metal Hammer Germany | 5.5/7[3] |
| New Noise |    [4] |
| Rock Hard | 8.5/10[5] |
The album received positive reviews wherein the writers praised the musical quality and diversity of the band.[2][5] It was also noted that songs like "Mine is the Fury" were harder and heavier than many previous releases of the band.[4] with Metal Hammer calling it the first "true" Eluveitie album after five years.[3] The reviewer for New Noise concluded, however, that "Ategnatos is a good album, though after Eluveitie’s long history and extensive discography, it’s an offering that doesn’t quite stand out from the rest of their catalog."
