"While I can appreciate the good technical musicianship, the overuse of scream and growl vocals is hard to get past for my personal taste." (bartyMJ, ★★★☆☆☆☆, )
"It's not uncommon, anyway, the vocals are presented with a way too much scream / growl share. Much respect for the artist's prolificness, and fortunately a few tracks are out of the usual range in a really comfortable manner." (Rivertree, ★★★★★☆☆, )
"Incredibly well composed, Ihsahn's best work so far IMHO. The orchestra helps a lot, but also integrates really well with the metal. An intense and captivating journey!" (Mike, ★★★★★★★, )
