reception

The magazine Rocks wrote that the group had "discovered the hard edge in their old days:" Guitarist Jimi Bell missed pieces like Battle or Permission to Die "an undreamt-of guitar broadside," but "thanks to his flair for exquisite melodic moments", the singer succeeded James Christian, to keep the new "songs in melodic hard rock." The group serves "first-class mid-tempo rockers and ballads that get by without embarrassment in the case of Live Every Die (Like It's the Last) or Precious Metal ". In terms of songwriting, the current line-up can "easily compete with the makers of the past." The bottom line is that the album is one of "the highlights of the band's history."
