style
Psychotic Waltz play atmospheric progressive metal on the album , which has "become less metallic, but more groovy, more psychedelic" than on A Social Grace . Again there are bulky and complex pieces with many breaks and hard riffs as well as catchy ballads and harmonic passages. With these varied compositions and Buddy Lackey's emotional singing, Into the Everflow is also a stylistically independent album.

Like its predecessor, Into the Everflow was positively received by the press and is now considered a classic of Progressive Metal. In 1993, Wolfgang Schäfer from Rock Hard judged that the album "easily overshadows everything that has been released in the metal sector in recent years [...]". Holger Andrae from powermetal.de thinks , “you are involuntarily sucked into this hypnotic vortex of captivating rhythms and psychedelic hooks and never let go” and for Georg Heep from Babyblauen Seiten “this CD is a 45-minute trip into dream worlds with no aftermath - or side effects ”. The eclipsed magazine took Into the Everflow on its list of the most important milestones prog metal.
