Critical reception
Blabbermouth.net concluded: "If you want progress, look elsewhere. But if you want to hear some real deal blood 'n' thunder that would make Lemmy glow with paternal pride, Joel Grind is still the man to provide it."[2] Metal Hammer remarked that Grind's vocals in "Cybernetic War" are reminiscent of the band Running Wild.[4] Powermetal.de called the album an enormously entertaining and enjoyable experience.[5] The Rockpit wrote: "[...] if you love your metal fun and heavy, slick but raw and just so goddamn good in all areas, you just can’t go wrong with this album."[7] KNAC.com highlighted "Time's Edge" as a great track that has "some versatility with harmonics".[3] Punknews.org said "It’s an album that can hold its own against the band’s best material."[6]
