Metal.de remarked, "Anyone who likes anthemic power metal with a pinch of cheese can't go wrong with the undead band's new album." [1]

Chris Chantler of Metal Hammer rated the album five out of ten and stated, "Somewhat diverse influences are attempted, but Armageddon feels less like an artistic exercise, more a cynical attempt to cover popular bases." [6]

The album received a rating of eight out of ten from Blabbermouth , whose reviewer Dom Lawson described it as the band's "strongest album to date," and noted it as "a very fine way to confirm that their music is now as explosive and resonant as originally intended: a battle clearly won." [4]
