| Select |  [4] |
Nick Griffiths of Select gave the album a two-out-of-five rating, and described it as a "patchwork of half-fulfilled promises, it threatens more than it delivers." He noted that "only when the lead axe spits caterwauling speedplay and the thrash rhythm do Annihilator finally wash their true colours in public" and that "elsewhere there's a tendency to steer into formularised ruts, escaping occasionally like on the ghoulish riffs of 'Sixes and Sevens'."[4]
Alex Henderson of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, calling it "one of 1990's strongest metal releases".[1]
