The album was met with mixed reviews - however was largely well-received by critics and fans alike. Many have cited the downpoint of the album being the poor production, however guitar player Christian Olde Wolbers has stated that the band was disappointed with the album due to its hurried finish due to demands from the bands label. This also accounts for the coversongs. Wolbers stated that had the band had more time to finish the record, more tracks would have been included, and the album overall would have sounded better.
