Critical reception

Rock Sound wrote that the album, "though still employing plenty of galloping bass lines and a seafaring lyric or two, is happy to dive into thrashier seas on a few occasions." [3] AllMusic wrote: "Those whose appetite for high-speed, staccato riffing, blastbeats, and growling is nearly insatiable will enjoy this, and there are a few nice guitar solos scattered here and there, but it's not a must-hear by any stretch of the imagination." [2]
