The concept remains a common literary device in modern fantasy, children's literature and popular culture.

Critical reception ''KillYourStereo'' gave the album 4 out of 5 and said: "''Greyview'' is a wonderful, sometimes remarkable comeback for Invent Animate, often featuring some of the American band's best work. Track after track, this new album punishes the listener with the crushing, heavyweight of sorrow and depression, felt in both the gut-wrenching lyrical wordplay and the moody prog-metalcore instrumentals. While it may not be the band's most cohesive sounding effort, (like their 2016 album, '' Stillworld''), it nonetheless makes for a new monument in the discography of Invent Animate, cementing its place as an air-tight and very enjoyable, if not occasionally difficult listen.
