The reviewer for the Canadian Exclaim! magazine wrote that the album presented both "bombasticism" and sensuality, but noted an occasional drag in the songs.[3] The German edition of metal hammer Metal Hammer marked the production and musical quality of the album, and compared singer Rinkinen to Helen Vogt of Flowing Tears.[1] Also the RockHard magazine lauded Riina Rinkinen's addition to the Personnel and noted that the band had now reduced the kitsch of previous releases.[2]
