Reception
The PopMatters review by Sean Murphy stated "Those who cherish the oddness in Kang (or, to invoke another of his wonderfully appropriate album titles, the “sweetness of sickness”), won't be disappointed here". The Allmusic review by Stephen Eddins observed "The music of Athlantis defies easy pigeonholing, so identifying its attributes may be the best way to describe it. Its primary quality is an aura of dark mystery, a sense of conjuring supernatural forces. This is not the kind of piece most people would want to listen to alone in the dark". Spin noted "Athlantis, Kang's second disc for Ipecac, is truly out there. Inspired by Renaissance-era texts, he utilizes the voices of Mike Patton and Jessika Kenney to render his chillingly phantasmal choral arrangements. Think the monolith scene from 2001 as rendered by Mr. Bungle and you're almost there."
