Reception
Buffo Schnädelbach of Rock Hard was of the view that the long break would have been good for Blackbird and the band would have developed further their style instead of copying the pattern of success of One Day Remains. He forgave nine out of ten. Bastian said Voigtländer of metal.de that the songs would not be bad and not boring, but found that after a strong beginning of a slight disappointment would come. As Anspieltipps He presented some Rise Today and Blackbird and awarded seven out of ten.
