The main strengths were "skull-splitting riffs, the delicate, powerful melodies and memorable vocal passages truly stand out".. Heavymetal.dk landed on a 7. Eruption did not present the largest showing of originality, but had "its individual touch" as well as solid technical quality.

Five years later, Eruption followed with Tellurian Rupture. Rock Hard found it worthy of 7 out of 10 points. Norway's Scream Magazine gave 5 of 6, noting that Eruption's thrash metal was "very watered-down" with heavy metal, though this made "the style of the band interesting".
