The album has been called "the quintessential progressive metal album of the new millennium" by Sea of Tranquility reviewer Murat Batmaz.[2] When asked about the production on the album, producer Dino Alden stated that "Zero Hour has always been quite disciplined and they are very well rehearsed before they come into the studio. They always make pre-production recordings on their own and they work very hard at getting the arrangement that they want for each song."[3]
