Critical reception
Dan Slessor of Kerrang! described the album as "a step back towards their melodic death metal origins, and it is definitely to their betterment, delivering perhaps the strongest collection since 2008's Twilight of the Thunder God".

Blabbermouth.net portrayed the album as "Both an unapologetic, festival-ready dose of new, gleaming, Viking-populated anthems, and one of the darkest and most brutal albums they have yet made".

All songs written by Amon Amarth, except additional lyrics on "Saxons and Vikings" by Biff Byford.
