Metal Hammer Germany called the track "Arena of the True Lies" a catchy continuation of the band's previous album R.I.B and cited "Syrian Nightmare" as being singer Gerre's expression of anger about the current political situation in the Middle East.[2] The reviewer for Rock Hard, too, praised the album as being catchy with strong lyrics, although he found the riffs too unoriginal for a thrash release.[3]
