Although Replicants have a large fan base, the album was not regarded as a great success, and was seen as

"not a total and utter trudge-fest, finding a weird balance between the relative exultance of the original, and the band's own mock metal heroics, adding in a bit of woozy semi-shoegaze psychedelia at the end." - Allmusic
