A review by Sonic Seducer called the album "halfbaked" due to unbalanced vocal sets, but lauded the overall quality of the production.[4] The Austrian Stormbringer webzine was equally positive about the production but found the contrasting female voices to be a unique and positive asset of the band.[5] The German edition of Metal Hammer compared the style to Nightwish and awarded three out of seven points in its rating.[2]
