Reception

The online magazine My Global Mind gave it a decent review, mentioning that it's "rather flat and lacking much to keep the listener interested.

Despite being inconsistent and lacking a punch, they did praise vocalist Brian Vollmer's voice as "perfectly suited for this kind of sound", and lead guitarist Brent Doerner's solos were "top-notch."
