After its release, ''Winds of Creation'' received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Matthias Sheaks of ] said, "the songwriting is extremely solid; even in the first listen, songs such as the manically frenzied 'Blessed' and the beautifully haunting 'Dance Macabre' stand out and away from the strange dissonance of 'The First Damned' and the call-and-response riffage of 'Nine Steps'."<ref name="allmusic"/> ]'s Paul Schwarz described the guitars and drums as having "more than enough great hooky riffs, time changes, breaks and inspired solos between them to make up for the lack of involving vocals."<ref name="chronicles"/> Greg Pratt from ] praised the production, saying it "sounds great". He also said, "the songs themselves are all Florida/Poland-style death metal, but Decapitated are pushing the genre a bit with their technicality".<ref name="exlclaim">{{cite web |publisher=exclaim.ca|first=Greg |last=Pratt| url = http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Metal/decapitated-winds_of_creation | title = Decapitated "Winds of Creation" review | accessdate = 1 March 2014}}</ref> ]'s Shawn Wedel mentioned, "Despite this surgical precision, there is one setback: the lack of a unique identity emerging from the music."<ref name="blistering">{{cite web|url=http://www.blistering.com/fastpage/fpengine.php/templateid/199/menuid/2/tempidx/4/link/1|title=Blistering.com Review: Decapitated - "Winds of Creation"|accessdate=19 September 2014|publisher = ]}}</ref> |
