Reception

Allmusic reviewer Rick Anderson commented, "Despite some interesting and at times even beautiful chord progressions, Spilles' vocals remain almost entirely tuneless. And if they're going to insist on singing in English, they might want to run their lyrics past a native speaker before committing to tape. But there are some very fine moments here, including the funky "Chains," the rockish "Echoes," and the downright catchy "Merry-Go-Round to Hell." Not bad overall." [3] Peter Marks from "releasemagazine.net" gave "Kaskade" 8/10 and said "I cannot praise Peter, Dirk and Jurgen enough for the variation (once again) which they pack into this album. The choruses have never sounded better. Project Pitchfork truly have gotten their mojo back." [4] Lykle of "Gothtronic.com" gave the album 3.5/5 commenting "Remarkable is the bigger role for the guitars this time, but this doesn't go at the cost of the subtle nuances the band is known for. Once again the cryptic lyrics are great as well, so we can speak of one of the better Project Pitchfork releases;"
