Critical reception

Blabbermouth.net summarized: ""From Ashes" does not push boundaries, but it is worthy of your attention because of the careful attention to arrangement detail, the ability to keep things interesting without overdoing it, and a knack for writing songs that stick with you." Metal.de reviewed the reissue and compared the sound to bands like At the Gates and Dark Tranquillity. They said the album is not a must-buy but worth a try for death metal fans. Exclaim! reviewed the reissue and noted a resemblance to Swedish death metal, highlighting "Impending Doom" and "In the Hands of Death" as "unrelenting headbangers that feature intense rhythms".
