Reviews were mostly positive, establishing them in the NWOBHM, though some noted a raw sound compared to later albums.
Martin Popoff cited Thin Lizzy/Queen influences, praising the refined sound. Guitar work by Willis/Clarke and Elliott's vocals were commended.
Sputnikmusic highlighted their ambition. 'Rock Brigade' was noted for inventive riffs. Despite mainstream elements, it showed their blend of melody and heaviness.
Most tracks were later dropped from concerts. The album solidified their early identity and influenced heavy metal.
