AllMusic wrote that the album "finds the band embracing their pop, hard rock, and arena rock roots, creating an old-fashioned hard rock platter that sounds completely out of step with the late '90s." and noted "In a way, that's refreshing".
According to AllMusic, the album showcases the band returning to their pop, hard rock, and arena rock foundations, producing an old-school hard rock collection that stands apart from late '90s music. The publication also found this approach to be invigorating.
