Reviews
In its December 17, 2014, online review of "Stranded", The Prog Report noted the song's "obvious" influence from the band Pink Floyd and stated, "The opening of "Stranded" is haunting and commands attention...the quality of the production is evident." The review further stated that the "vocal barrage" at the end of the track showed Kerzner's ability to "separate himself from simply a reincarnation of his influences."
