| Rock Hard | 7.5/10[7] |
The Calgary Herald noted the "high intensity mile-a-minute guitars, bottom string bass chords and drums like hammers hitting nail heads."[6]
AllMusic wrote that "its entire first half (kicked off in typical Warrior Soul fashion by an angry psycho-babble rant set to music entitled 'Mars') rolls by without a single memorable moment."[5]
