Critic reception
Void Eternal received generally positive reviews from critics. In his review for The Line of Best Fit, Steven Loftin said the album "is a rebirth [of nu-metal]", and Ely King for Distorted Sound said Mulherin has "successfully branched himself into metalcore" and was "very reminiscent of the early to mid-00s era".
