Stoupe's production is heavy yet musical, and Paz's rhymes are intelligent yet accessible, his voice rough yet his delivery smooth. Like how Wu-Tang appealed to so many different fans because of both their hard, urban beats and their smart, complex lyrics, so too are Jedi Mind Tricks able to achieve that same status. Allmusic gave the album a positive four star rating writer Marisa Brown stated: The album was warmly received critically, especially when compared to their two previous efforts, Visions of Gandhi and Legacy of Blood, which both received mixed reviews. Servants in Heaven became the group's most commercially successful release, being their first album to break into the Billboard 200, and also landed in the top ten on the Independent Albums chart, and the top fifty on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. "I'm a Cannibal Corpse" (When All Light Dies) and " Calculate infinity with The Dillinger Escape Plan." (Serenity In Murder). Much of the lyrics reference heavy metal also, i.e. The album title, as well, could potentially be a reference to the Kreator track "Servant in Heaven (King in Hell)" from their Violent Revolution album. For example, "When All Light Dies" was previously the title of a song by Trivium "Serenity in Murder" is also the name of a Slayer track "Razorblade Salvation" is also a song by Sinergy and "Black Winter Day" is the name of a track by Amorphis. As with previous Jedi Mind Tricks albums, many of the track titles appear to be lifted from previous songs by heavy metal groups.
