Critical reception

Chronicles of Chaos, while complimenting the album's "dark, ominous atmosphere", wrote that it is "damaged somewhat by a constantly intruding drum machine that does nothing to help the music except overpower it", finishing off with "for all its good points, the escalating and descending keyboards and the hollow, spooky atmosphere it creates, TGPC is far from perfect."[1]
