A review by Sonic Seducer called the album "halfbaked" due to unbalanced vocal sets, but lauded the overall quality of the production.^[6] The Austrian Stormbringer webzine was equally positive about the production but found the contrasting female voices to be a unique and positive asset of the band.^[5] The German edition of Metal Hammer compared the style to Nightwish and awarded three out of seven points in its rating.^[3]

Petőfi Csarnok of Kultura.hu said "Lux Noctis album has one of last year's best female vocals".^[7]
