Mark Gromen of Brave Words praised the album saying "Easily my favourite Cage disc since Unveiled!"[2] Scott Alisoglu of Blabbermouth.net stated "Heavy metal concept albums are hit or miss propositions.....There are very few albums that can claim to be as quintessentially heavy metal as Hell Destroyer.[3]

Steen of RevelationZ felt the album to be lovingly crafted and perfected down to the very last note.[6][7]

Michael Wuensch of Lastrit.es stated "2007 has seen a number of traditional metal bands releasing top-ten contenders, but the power end of the spectrum has been relatively quiet. There's been a few challengers but Cage has definitely delivered a paragon in spades with this release.''[8]
