Eduardo Rivadavia's Blabbermouth review was predominantly positive, comparing Kadavar to fellow hard rock band Wolfmother. The review said that the album "shows a lot of heart, body and soul – all qualities that may help put all previously held suspicions to rest", and hailed "Come Back Life" and "The Man I Shot" as the best songs. In comparison to their debut album Kadavar , Rivadavia noted that the band had made "qualitative improvement on the songwriting and production."
All songs written and composed by Christoph Lindemann, Christoph Bartelt and Philipp Lippitz.
