Reception
In Trucking magazine's regular music reviews Shaun Connors wrote, "Music with balls for people with balls," suggesting listeners "Forget Royal Hunt’s pigeonholing prog rock/metal moniker and for SMHTL think more hardish rock with mild symphonic (keyboard-laden) twist, all enhanced by stadium rock level melody and hooks..."
About.com gave the album a four-of-five star rating, commenting: "Royal Hunt does a good job combining hooks and melodies with more intricate arrangements. Songs like “Another Man Down” is memorable and catchy, but also has depth and atmosphere along with some quality guitar work from Jonas Larsen, who has a positive impact on his first album with Royal Hunt."
