AllMusic[2]

The Seventh Sign reached No. 11 on theSwedish albums chart and No. 47 on theSwiss albums chart, both in 1994.[3] In July 2014,Guitar World magazine placed the album at No. 46 on their "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994" list.[4]

Steve Huey atAllMusic gaveThe Seventh Sign three stars out of five, saying that Malmsteen's extensive use of awah pedal in the style ofJimi Hendrix makes the album "necessary for Malmsteen fans, even though his more neo-classical work (solos, instrumentals, etc.) seems less inspired here." He also heavily criticised the power ballad "Prisoner of Your Love", calling it "downright embarrassing."[2]
