AllMusic awarded The Divine Invasion three out of five possible stars. Sonic Boom said "the musical growth exhibited by Electro Assassin within the last several years has been nothing less than astonishing" and "They have forsaken the inane samples and pointless lyrics of previous albums and focused their new work entirely on a dark cyberculture concept which has become immensely popular recently."
