The album was met with mixed reviews by critics and fans alike. Many have cited the downpoint of the album being the poor production, guitar player Christian Olde Wolbers has stated that it was hard to have a producer do everything, where usually they are more involved with the people that they work with. Because of this the album has a different mix, a different sound to it than the previous ones. He also said that he had to walk out of the studio because he wasn't happy with his guitar sound[1]. Wolbers stated that the band was disappointed with the album due to its hurried finish due to demands from the band's label. This also accounts for the cover songs. Had the band had more time to finish the record, more tracks would have been included, and the album overall would have sounded better[2].
