rated the album positively but saying: "You pretty much know what you'll get with Fit For A King, but Dark Skies is certainly the sign of a band that haven't forgotten that the word 'metalcore' contains 'metal'.

"[3] Indie Vision Music stated that "Fit For A King continues to carve out a piece of metal history for themselves with this impressive album because they really did cover all the bases of what a metal album can bring: brutally heavy, melodic, thrashy, emotional lyrics that range across many topics, and two vocalists who compliment each other endlessly.

"[4] Jesus Freak Hideout rated the album 4 out of 5 and said: "Dark Skies may be Fit for a King's fifth studio record, but the energy, passion, and enthusiasm these men have for their craft and ministry has not changed since they entered the scene with Descendants.

The band brought so many solid, memorable moments throughout all ten of these tracks; providing some incredible performances and a near-perfect mix of aggressive and melodic elements too.

"[5] New Noise gave the album 3.5 out of 5 and stated: "Nevertheless, Fit for a King have provided another bounty of glorious metalcore with Dark Skies, and fans are likely to rejoice the product; it certainly has power.
