| Chronicles of Chaos | 6/10[2] |
| Collector's Guide to Heavy Metal | 4/10[3] |
| Metal Hammer | 8/10[4] |
Chronicles of Chaos gave a neutral impression of the album, with a general summary of "average" across all facets - music, lyrics, and vocals. Of particular comparison to previous albums was the failure of any particular song to stand out in quality.[2]
Decibel provided a mixed review, complimenting Tommy Victor's "big riffs" but otherwise feeling it under-performed with an ugly cover and under-cooked production. In contrast to COC's review, Decibel specifically noted that each song did use unique mixes of riffs, but that the differences were subtle to the level of requiring specific attention to note differences.[5]
AllMusic gave a mixed review, complimenting "The gritty guitars, the stop/start rhythms, the anger and the vicious ill will", but noting the lack of standout tunes and the absence of any general difference from their earlier music.[1]
