Andy Hinds at AllMusic gave The Voice of the Cult two stars out of five, calling it "mainly a rehash of the band's Ruler of the Wasteland album, which had better songs" while saying that it would appeal to fans of David Chastain's guitar work and Leather Leone's singing.[1] Canadian journalist Martin Popoff notices the better production in comparison with Chastain's previous efforts, but concludes that the album is "as usual, useful as a guitar showcase, laughable as a band recording."[2]
