- Metaltoinfinty.tk: „I'd like to recommend this silver disc to all fanatics raising their fists up high for bands like Def Leppard, Spread Eagle, Thin Lizzy, Santers, … A band with a quite unusual background history, spitting flame and fire with their intensive form of powerful Rock music! 87/100

- Musikansich.de: “this album is a conflicting one. The first 6 songs are great hard rock á la Def Leppard or Tesla but the second half of the album just can´t keep up with that.” 12/20
- Metal-inside.de: “A perfect album for a good party. Nothing really exciting and new but fans of classic hard rock should check these guys anyway.”

- Heavyhardes.de: “A really good voice, good sound and good musicianship, but yet not original enough to reach the class of similar bands like Def Leppard and Van Halen. Check them anyway.”

- Melodic.net: “If you are into other Swedish bands like Crazy Lixx, Hardcore Superstars, Crash Diet, Bai Bang and hints of The Poodles you got a nice party rock album that goes in the same vein as the mentioned bands, maybe not as strong but still very solid.” 3/5
