Critical reception

Steve Huey at AllMusic gave Magnum Opus three stars out of five, calling it a "predictable mix of generic hard rockers, sugary ballads, and Malmsteen's trademark neo-classical guitar instrumentals." He said the album had nothing new to offer, but nonetheless recommended it for diehard Malmsteen fans.
