Andy Kellman from Allmusic rated The VIII three stars out of five. He found that "though this is as sonically consistent as any previous Avant album – mostly silky, with a little grit here and there – the subject matter fluctuates in the extreme [...] Longtime fans nonetheless should have little trouble quickly identifying a handful of cuts that rate with the past highlights."
