Eduardo Rivadavia, writing for AllMusic, described the album as the "most frantic and no-holds-barred" neo-death metal/trash metal. Rivadavia appreciated the songs "Turn to Ash", "Bled Dry", and "In Defeat" for their "spidery melodic guitar lines". However, he had mixed feelings about the album length, pointing out that it "takes a real glutton for speed to actually sit through and digest these dangerously repetitive blasts", and Dew-Scented "far exceed[ed] the unofficial half-hour limit imposed on such releases by Slayer's form-defining Reign in Blood". Rivadavia summed up his experience as "impressive enough, but truly for speed-freaks only".[1]
