Void Eternal received generally positive reviews from critics. In his review for The Line of Best Fit, Steven Loftin said the album "is a rebirth [of nu-metal]", and Ely King for Distorted Sound said Mulherin has "successfully branched himself into metalcore" and was "very reminiscent of the early to mid-00s era".
=Commercial success=
On a Twitch stream, Mulherin said the album was not a commercial success. He stated he lost 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify after the release of the album and would most likely not release a metal album again due to the lack of commercial success.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf0bsOHhIWQ|title=🎶 nothing,nowhere.
