Steve Huey of AllMusic rated the EP three stars out of five, considering the release similar to the band's debut album and essentially a package for devoted fans. The Orlando Sentinel disliked the techno remixes on the EP but appreciated the rest of the music and considered the release all-together a "decent disc".{{Cite web |last=By |date=2000-03-10 |title=EXTOL MESMERIZED |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2000/03/10/extol-mesmerized-2/ |access-date=2024-10-18 |website=Orlando Sentinel |language=en-US}} Alex Cantwell of Chronicles of Chaos rate the EP 7.5 out of 10. The only reason for not rating higher was due to the industrial tracks, which they considered filler that took up space which could have been used for new Extol music. Nevertheless, they viewed the recording as essential for fans of the band and highly recommended for others.{{Cite web |last=Cantwell |first=Alex |date=December 8, 1999 |title=Extol - Mesmerized : Review |url=http://www.chroniclesofchaos.com/articles.aspx?id=2-1342 |access-date=2024-10-18 |website=Chronicles of Chaos}}
