[1] Mythmaker marks the third occasion on which a Skinny Puppy album cover was created by an artist other than long-time collaborator Steven R. Gilmore, though he continues to do the sleeve design and layout for the band.

[3] Ogre told Tom Lanham of The San Francisco Examiner that he believed Mythmaker to be "the best work he's done since 1990's definitive Too Dark Park".

[9] It is the third time a Skinny Puppy song has been used on a soundtrack for a Saw film, with Saw II and Saw IV previously including tracks by the band.

The live band consisted of Ogre (vocals and theatrics), Key (keyboards and electronics), and Justin Bennett (percussion).

He goes on to say that "Nivek Ogre and cEvin Key obviously know what their following wants to hear", and finishes by reiterating, "Not a lot has changed in the world of Skinny Puppy circa Mythmaker".

She notes that certain elements leave the listener "to appreciate how beautiful Skinny Puppy can be when it follows a more emotive, ambient trail", but comments that there are some "industrial chargers" as well.

[22] In a review for Zero Music Magazine, Gustaf Molin praised the album for Key's sound design and Ogre's vocal work, calling it "a masterpiece".

[23] Ilker Yücel of ReGen Magazine said "Mythmaker certainly continues along the path paved by The Greater Wrong of the Right, representing an embrace of modern electronic music and pushing it to its limits".

Discussing individual songs, he said the first track, "Maginifishit", was "a testament to Mark Walk's impressive abilities to use Ogre's voice as an instrument unto itself".

Yücel stated that "Jaher" is "full of dark atmosphere that is at once soothing and nightmarish" and called it "arguably the best track" on the album.
