laut.de stated that the record possesses a more puristic sound compared to the debut album since it doesn't include keyboards; however, the sound retains the same thin quality as on the debut. Metal.de in their original review said the band is clearly maturing but still called the album "cheesy". Reviewing the re-recorded version they said the album has better production values. AllMusic said the album has the appropriate Viking metal qualities.
