Norway's Scream Magazine gave a 4 out of 6 score to Skycrest. It was almost "inconceiveable" that every album could be good while also being made out of the same blueprint every time. "When they go along with the title track here, I instantly get the feeling that this is one of the best songs they have ever made. Still, it sounds like almost everything they have done previously". The reviewer preferred Iron Savior's "full throttle" power metal to their "mid-tempo stuff".[11]
