Critical reception
The album was well received. It has been cited as a breakthrough release for the band as well as for the genre as a whole. In Thom Jurek's review of the album for AllMusic, he describes that "Sonically, these guys love dissonance; they love thick heavy atmospheres and feedback and they love to mess with tempos stretching out time and sending it into a void", concluding "The Work Which Transforms God is a compelling and knotty listen; it squeals, plods, cracks, screeches, whirs and wails in differing shades of black."
