AllMusicStarStarStarStarHalf star[4]

Allmusic awarded Christmeister four and a half out of five possible stars.[4] A critic for High Fidelity News and Record Review noted the complexity of the work, stating "the bass and percussion are kept busy throughout, forming a foundation for all manner of thrash-esque touches - but it's too deliberate and 'crafted' to be written off as merely anarchic."[5] Sonic Boom praised the album and said "there always seems to be as much going on in the foreground as there is in the background, which gives this album the illusion that it actually contains more music than it should."[6][7][8]

Christmeister was rated one of the Top-10 most ‘important’ industrial albums by Alternative Press Magazine (in 2000). [9]
