The PC, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch versions of Aeterna Noctis both received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 50% of critics.

Concluding his review of the game for Push Square, Ollie Reynolds wrote: "Ultimately, although there's a distinct feeling of déjà vu when playing Aeterna Noctis thanks to its unmistakable similarities to Hollow Knight, it thankfully manages to nail the most important elements in a Metroidvania: exploration and combat."

The second installment in the series, Summum Aeterna, a roguelite prequel based on Aeterna Noctis, was initially released for Steam in June 2022, and was released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch in late 2023. The third installment in the series, Aeterna Lucis, a sequel to Aeterna Noctis, is set for release on December 3, 2026.
