Heavy Metal Pages’ Adam Widełka stated: "The Swiddling soloist will once and again fly in the left ear and fly out the right, and percussion canonade snatches from the sleep of even the dead [...] this is quite a decent music, still given in a very noisy way.[2]

Rock Hard’s Wolfram Küper called the album "perhaps the most aggressive and fastest, but certainly not the best. Quite unrestrained and sometimes a little chaotic they move [...] between Power- and Speed metal".[3]

Other European print magazines with reviews include, i.e., Scream from Norway,[4] Powerplay Magazine from England,[5] and World Of Metal Magazine from Portugal.[6]

During week 41 in 2017 renowned Metal Express Radio to feature the album as one of the daily premieres with two longer features a day.[7] In the corresponding review Daniel Waters took a deeper look at the whole album and commented on every single song. In his conclusion he stated: "2017 has been a fine year for Italian Heavy Metal and Italian History VI adds to that encouraging trend of success."[8]

Heavy Metal Webzine from Italy highlighted how balanced the group is: "alchemy, balance and an almost perfect communion of musical intentions".[9] The Italian magazine metallized.it came to the conclusion: „a real guarantee in the industry“.[10] Austrian Online magazine Stormbringer.at called the album "a gallant cuvée of power, speed, prog and thrash metal [...] Hard as nails the sound, smooth the songwriting. There's not much to complain about here."[11] The worldwide online magazine Metal Temple came to the conclusion: "Overall, this is a world-class release of awesome songs that is expertly produced. Play this at a party, it is a rocking soundtrack to really good time; I highly recommend this album."[12]
