The album generally received very positive reviews and reception. Daniel Køtz of the German webzine CDstarts.de wrote that James LaBrie and his band have found their very own sound at last which is emancipated from Dream Theater. He writes that the album is not a simple alternative to Dream Theater but an original work.[3]
