| The Prog Mind | 9.5/10[3] |
| Blabbermouth | 10/10[4] |
Blabbermouth gave the album a 10/10, praising Earthside for their ability to span musical genres and permit each song to have its own sense of identity while preserving a distinctly progressive metal sound.[4] Tony Shrum of New Noise Magazine praised the album, though they commented that the tracks with guest vocalists largely outshined the fully instrumental tracks. "The cross-continental project highlights the best of prog from around the world and features vocalists capable of carrying this grandiose music. If not for a relatively underwhelming instrumental portion of the record, Earthside could have released one of the best debuts in a long, long time."[5]
