Metal Hammer Germany 4/7[1]
Rock Hard 7.0

The album received mixed professional reviews. The German edition of Metal Hammer as well as Rock Hard wrote that the songs varied between melodic metal and kitsch. Metal Hammer's reviewer observed, however, that singer Sabine Edelsbacher could match the timbre of Tarja Turunen.[1][2] Also About.com compared Edelsbacher's singing to Nightwish but called the overall style of the album symphonic progressive metal.[3]
