David E. Gehlke from Blabbermouth.net gave the album 7 out of 10 and said: "Interludium is a quality, worthy addition to Powerwolf's expanding discography, but compilation or not, it shows that power metal bands don't take risks anymore. And given Powerwolf's continued rise through the international metal ranks, they'd be fools to try something different anyway." [11] Metal Injection rated the album 7.5 out of 10 and stated, "Filled with the usual blend of infectious hooks and big werewolf energy that epitomise Powerwolf, it's almost impossible to listen along to Interludium without a big smile on your face. It takes full ownership of its status and delivers some meaty chunks of Powerwolf good stuff that will thrill those who know exactly what they're getting into here. This is undoubtedly a release for the fans, but the fans are going to absolutely love this." [12]
