reception
Frank Albrecht gave the album the highest rating of ten points because Source is "the melodic death counterpart to Slayer's Reign in Blood " because "the album sets standards for its genre". Stefan Popp from the online magazine Metal1.info wrote in his review that the album was “a lot of fun” despite its short playing time, because there was “not a second of fillers or forced song extensions”. Popp awarded nine out of ten points for the album. Pedro Azevedo from the online magazine Chronicles of Chaos, however, criticized the fact that the album only contained two “outstanding songs” with Striving to Have Nothing and Not a Good Sign , and awarded seven out of ten points.
