    Reception

    Despite enjoying only moderate chart success internationally, the album was highly rated by www.ultimateclassicrock.com, which included Wolflight in its shortlist of the Best Classic Albums of 2015 (so far), on July 4, 2015.

    It said Hackett had used a variety of musical genres and added: "He boldly breaks free of the historical constrictions surrounding the Genesis Revisited projects, even as he recalls the striking instrumental turns that defined his early legacy."
