A review of the 2008 re-release album by the German Sonic Seducer was very favourable, calling the album a proof that Arkona were among "the very best and the most aesthetic" pagan folk metal bands world-wide. The reviewer praised singer Maria Arkhipova's voice as well as the dynamical and highly melodical compositions.[1]
