Allmusic reviewer Greg Prato commented that the album is "unmistakably" Metal Church, in spite of the fact that only Kurdt Vanderhoof is the only remaining founding member of the band who performs on the record. Prato states that A Light in the Dark "could easily be mistaken for a thrash metal release of the '80s" because of songs like "A Light in the Dark" and "Beyond all Reason". Prato rated the album at 3.5 out of 5 stars.[2]
