reception

For Gunnar Sauermann from Metal Hammer , Between Two Worlds is a "party disc for the tough faction that lets the turnip rotate non-stop". He gave the album six out of seven points. Götz Kühnemund from Rock Hard wrote in his review that the result of the album was “extremely atmospheric, sonically dense monumental works” that “still exude the old Norwegian Black Metal spirit, but at the same time have strong hard rock influences”. Kühnemund awarded nine out of ten points. The Rock Hard leads Between Two Worlds also in its list of "250 black metal albums, should know the man" on.

Jackie Smit from the online magazine Chronicles of Chaos described the album as a "nice stopover until the next Immortal album" and awarded 7.5 out of 10 points. Arlette Huguenin from the online magazine Vampster criticized the lack of “variety in terms of tempo” and described Between Two Worlds as a “well-played, but somewhat soulless work”.
