Tom Breihan of Stereogum said, "The original track was two minutes as 39 seconds long. And now Kurt Ballou — who is also, it's worth mentioning, probably the most sought-after producer in all of heavy music — has taken that sprint of a track and stretched it into an ambient doom odyssey." Axl Rosenberg of MetalSucks said, "If you listen very, very closely, you can still hear the original track in there. But yeah they ain't kiddin' when they describe 'Endless Arrow' as 'ambient/expermiental.' This shit makes Bloody Panda sound like DragonForce."
