Critical reception

A Furrow Cut Short received mixed reviews from critics.

Dave Schalek from About.com rated the album 4 out of 5 and said that "a Furrow Cut Short is an excellent introduction to Drudkh for listeners unfamiliar with the band and is, by any measure, an excellent album."

Benjamin Hedge Olson from PopMatters said that the album is "another predictable yet satisfying slab of black metal", rating it 6 out of 10.

Kyle Ward from Sputnikmusic was more negative about the release, rated it 2 out of 5 and "was not pleased that a leader of that scene devolved into run-of-the-mill black metal."
