Apart from the very positive reviews by other European reviewers, the album was critically very positively acclaimed by reviewers from Serbia, Croatia and other countries in the former Yugoslavia region. Nenad Milosavljević from Popboks gave 7/10 stars for this album with the comment that .avi "presents a release whose echo could very easily go overseas, over boundaries of the autistic miniature scene they belong to".[11] Slobodan Trifunović from Metal Sound gave the album ten out of ten stars, saying that the album "is one beautiful piece of music, well rounded work of experienced musicians and it will for sure go down in history as one of the best releases of harder music in Serbia".[12] Croatian Cmar-net awarded the album with the rating of 9/10, praising the album as one of the most refreshing releases in past couple of years.[13] Later on, Popboks announced that Consecration's .avi is the Serbian Album of The Year 2010, as voted by the jury.
