Awarding the album three and a half stars for Alternative Press, Jason Schreurs writes, "a super-solid riff-rock album".[2] Dan MacIntosh, giving the album three and a half stars at HM Magazine, states, "Spoken has come back with fists a flying, with plenty of sonic firepower still at its disposal."[3] Rating the album three stars from CCM Magazine, Matt Conner says, "Spoken is prepped for a strong re-entry into the market".[1] Wayne Myatt, signaling in a four star review from Jesus Freak Hideout, describes, "Spoken has made a remarkable return with an achievement that surpasses all of their preceding efforts."[5] Indicating in a four star review at Jesus Freak Hideout, Michael Weaver responds, "While their self-titled was a bit of a disappointment, especially with Baird's weakest vocal attempt, Illusion is far from a let-down."[6] Assigning a five star review on the album for Indie Vision Music, Lee Brown replies, "Spoken returns with a powerful and nearly flawless album that is beautifully aggressive and powerfully tender as it balances two distinct sounds that few other bands could blend so masterfully together on one album."[4]
