For Thomas Meyns from the online magazine Metalnews.de , Gates of Dalhalla offers a "comprehensive retrospective that impressively documents the strengths of the troupe in the stage business". Meyns awarded 5.5 out of seven points. Siegfried Samer from the Austrian online magazine Stormbringer described Gates of Dalhalla as an "indispensable must-buy for fans" and as "a wonderful introduction to the work of one of the most important bands in the genre for genre newbies". Anzo Sadoni from the German magazine Metal Hammer criticized the lack of a live atmosphere during the concert and attributed this to the approx. 15 meters distance between the stage and the audience. Since the two live CDs “will be a constant companion” to him, Sadoni awarded five out of seven points.
