Specifying in a six-star review (out of 10) by Cross Rhythms, Steve Hayes responds, "The album moves across hip-hop territory through Midwest, east, west, old skool and beyond."[5] Jono Davies, indicating in a four star review from Louder Than The Music, realizing, "If you're looking for an album that is dynamic, with interesting lyrics and pounding beats that would fit on any mainstream hip hop album, Immortal Combat might be an album worth trying."[6] Neil Christian, writes in a 4.7 out of 10 stars review from Holy Culture, replying, "what Hostyle Gospel has done, is create an album cover that personifies the album’s theme. You already know what the message is without hearing a single bar of the album. The image of four guys, dressed in khakis, hoisting the cross with heavy exertion on their faces, immediately conveys the idea that we are in a war. We are in a war against the world and the secular music industry that is promoting sin heavily. We are in a war against sin and against our flesh."[7]
