A review by the webzine Jukebox Metal called the album "imaginative and lively" but criticised a lack in musical consistency and identity.[4] Metal Hammer Germany was more positive and lauded the evolution in the band's musical quality, writing that the songs were more complex and sophisticated than those on the previous studio album Goi, Rode, Goi! .[5]
