Jack Parker from All Things Loud rated the album 8.5 out of 10 and said: "Despite the record following similar structures for the most part, In Hearts Wake have just the right amount of power and edge to make them stand out from their contemporaries.

"[7] Tom Valcanis from Beat magazine praised the album saying: "Skydancer is a blazing record, confirming In Hearts Wake's much vaunted potential has come into bloom.

rated the album with an average score and saying: "It's mildly befuddling that, given their apparent appetite for grand scale thinking, In Hearts Wake would turn in a record which so heartily smacks of neutered creativity.

"[9] Louder Sound gave the album a very positive review and stated: "This latest full-length is probably In Hearts Wake's best work yet, and could bring them some well-deserved attention outside of their home turf.

"[10] New Transcendence gave the album an almost perfect score 9/10 and saying: "As a whole, Skydancer does what it was meant to do and follows up Earthwalker flawlessly, and is definitely some of the band's greatest and most entertaining work so far.

So whilst it isn't an amazing album, Skydancer shows that In Hearts Wake could become one of the biggest metalcore bands around in the coming years if they continue to progress like they are.
