The album received generally positive reviews from critics. Sam Khaneka of Distorted Sound scored the album 7 out of 10 and wrote that the album "feels like Korpiklaani trying to find a careful balance of the two, with just enough variety to keep things interesting but without stepping far off their well beaten path." Writing for Metal Hammer, Holly Wright called the album "one of Korpiklaani's better latter-day albums that continues their legacy of authentic, Finnish revelry".
