Critical reception

Rishi Shah of NME described the song as "straight out of the Game of Thrones score, carrying the hallmarks of some sort of critical judgement day for Vessel. We hear him momentarily roar for the first time, perhaps finally owning the image of the deity he's been built up to be". [1] Reviewing Even in Arcadia for Rolling Stone , Maura Johnston commented that Vessel's voice "is a sturdy burr that flutters with intensity on cuts like the windswept title track". [2] Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of Billboard ranked it as the seventh best song from the album, stating "'Even in Arcadia' is spellbinding. Guided by nothing more than a piano and Vessel's voice, the song serves as both a nice break from the upbeat anthems that came before it, and a haunting call to arms for Sleep Token's longtime supporters, thanking them for taking this strange journey into the mainstream eye with them".
