The album received a score of 3 out of 6 from Norway's Scream. The album might as well "be called 'Programmed To Play Standard Death Metal'", wrote the reviewer, because it sounded so "average", was "predictable and lacking in ideas". The musicianship and production were good, though, but "the band showcases zero intent to create an identity".[2]
