Holger Stratmann by the German magazine Rock Hard spoke of a " not disappointing album", but criticized the fact that there would be between the first two and the last song "too much idle ". Strathmann rated the album 8.5 out of ten. Alex Straka from the online magazine Powermetal.de designated Fabulous Disaster as the last for a long time creative peak of the band's history. Reviewer Matt from online magazine The Metal Observer said in his review of a " good, solid album ," the " good to the early works of the band fits ", but " not in the same league the previous two ." The song Low Rider had the band in his opinion, " should rather use as a B- side."
