Critical reception

Robert Taylor at AllMusic gave Guitar Dominance! 1.5 stars out of 5, calling it "a rather mediocre debut" and that it "sounds like something from the '80s rather than the '90s." Regarding Stump's guitar work, he said "What Stump lacks in originality he makes up for in technique, but his blatant purloining of Yngwie Malmsteen's style and licks is embarrassing and unnecessary." The album's production values were also criticized as lackluster.
