Obscure Verses was generally well received by critics. Writing for Pitchfork, Kim Kelly described it as "another impressive collection, one that's about as catchy as a pure black metal record has any right to be" and mentioned that the album features "some of Dagon's best guitar work as he manipulates and torments his strings into all manner of eerie tones."[5]
