AllMusic3/5 stars[8]

John Bush of AllMusic awarded Sun God three out of five stars, calling it an "album of tribal rhythms and percussion" with "Nigiani's airy vocals and Orpheus's sinister growls complementing each other well."[8] Sonic Boom described it as "a modern day interpretation of what many of the early pagan magick ceremonies might have been in the middle ages" and that "the music inspires meditation, celebration and escape from the constraints of society on its listeners."[9]
