Grayson Currin of Pitchfork said "The Satanist is a terrific coil of most everything Behemoth have ever done well, a strangely hopeful vision of hell wrested away from its very grip."
Grayson Currin sa stranice Pitchfork izjavljuje: "The Satanist je savršeno klupko uglavnom svega dobroga što je Behemoth ikad učinio te čudnovato nadobudna vizija pakla koja je istrgnuta iz njegovog stiska."
