Reviews for Artificial Soldier were mixed. David Jeffries of allmusic.com called the album "ferocious"[2] and said, "Artificial Soldier is a return to form monster of an album that will pound the band back into the electro-industrial lover's heart."[2]

John Carlsson of Release Music Magazine called the album "a brutal and heavy affair"[3] but said, "Their often marvelous knack for writing great hooks and choruses... seems to have gone missing."[3] He also stated, "There is also very little variation to be found,"[3] and finished by declaring "if you... want your [Bill] Leeb furious and angry, this is right up your alley."[3]
