Reviews have been generally positive of the album since its release. Götz Kühnemund of the German magazine Rock Hard praised it, highly recommending it to metal fans and going on to say that it "grows with every listen and even becomes SAMSON's best album!" They compared the LP to being roughly on the same hardness level as Def Leppard's Pyromania album and that it will, therefore "not appeal to every headbanger. But every SAMSON fan won't be able to get it off the turntable after listening to it for the first time!"[5]
All songs written by Paul Samson, Chris Aylmer, Nicky Moore and Pete Jupp
