Reception

Metal Hammer ranked "I'll Cast a Shadow" No. 43 on their list of the 50 best Pantera songs, writing: "A grand and belligerent way for Pantera to bow out, this brooding paean to rising from the ashes now seems unbearably poignant: 'When I die, I cast a shadow / And I'll rise, I cast a shadow'. For all their fire and fury, this band had the souls of poets, too."[1]
