Reviews:
"Ardroth is a remarkable musician and with this album he shows that he's capable of crafting together fine intelligible black metal art all on his own. Every instrument and piece of music is written and performed solely by him. Truly remarkable." - Gory Rory (Encyclopedia Metallum)
"Dwelling more in the symphonic black metal genre Bothildir captures and illustrates hatred, malice, beauty and mysticism to an incredible degree. Several times I catch myself headbanging and at others closing my eyes and listening to the sweeter sounds of Ardroth's talent. A heavy influence of nature can also be found, even furthered by the artwork located on the albums cover and insides." - Gathuile (Encyclopdia Metallum)
"This will more then likely be one of the best Black Metal albums that I have done a review for in 2006." - Jerry Stench (Necro Metal)
