Greg Prato from Allmusic also called Dante XXI one of the strongest albums with singer Derrick Green. He awarded 3.5 out of five stars. In a scholarly review of the album, Matthew Teutsch of the University of Louisiana at Monroe wrote that the album created "a new vehicle" to investigate Divine Comedy .
