Dawn of the Nine received positive reviews upon its release. Metal Sucks gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, commenting: "there is minimal respite from the full-on, brutal assault of uptempo, ultra-precise tech-death drumming and expert riffage/shreddy guitar soloing that will melt just about any face" whilst adding praise to the simplicity of the album with "there is a tasteful simplicity to the album’s stripped-down songwriting".[2] Louder Than War rated the album 7 out of 10, calling the album: "a solid effort, and it certainly deserves your listen".[3] Metal Hammer gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars, commenting: "Viking veterans get older, wiser and meaner".[5]
