Speaking on the album, front man Sacha Dunable stated: "I don't care how cliché it is to say; this is our best record yet! This is Intronaut at our most technical, brutal, catchy, and straight up fearless. I haven't been this proud of an album since we recorded our first demo 10 years ago." Commenting on the recording process Dunable also said “We decided that we don’t need to spend three weeks in a studio obsessing over every minute nuance…We ended up making our best sounding record in a third of the time.”

Angry Metal Guy gave the album a “good” rating of 3/5, describing the album as “a decent proggy platter” that displays “technicality and impressive musicianship” an album that is “not exactly brutal or fast, but its presence helps give diversity to the music”. Crash and Ride Music said the album was “very interesting” with “a dose of metal and a pinch of progressive,” criticizing some songs for “[overstaying] their welcome”.
