The album received moderately good reviews, receiving praise or the stylistic range of the music, with Allmusic's Phil Freeman noting that "The band's music surges and ebbs like a massive tide, with the guitar lines moving in a linear and horizontal",[4] and being called "a dynamic, shape-shifting beast that takes the form of a swaying ghost-like figure one minute before swelling into some sort of stone-crushing giant the next"[3] by Ryan Ogle of About.com. Both reviewers also noted similarities between the album and Neurosis's Through Silver in Blood.[3][4] Both reviewers also agreed that the album was within the style that Minsk was known for, with Ogle claiming that "the end result is unmistakably Minsk",[3] though they disagreed about how much experimentation occurred within that sound. Freeman stated that "while this album doesn't move Minsk's music forward in any significant way–they do what they do–it's a superb example of a band achieving total stylistic maturity",[4] while Ogle stated that the band was "chart[ing] the previously unexplored territory that is With Echoes In The Movement Of Stone".[3]
