"They All Blame Me" was said to be disconnected from the rest of the album. [5] Imperiumi  [ fi ] called "They All Blame Me" as the best track on the album. [2] Noise.fi  [ fi ] said the title track and "Return of Salieri" are the highlights of the album. [4] Vampster  [ de ] didn't recommend a purchase and said the album has a handful of decent songs but doesn't offer anything outstanding. [7]
