Reception[edit]
Alexey Mazhaev from InterMedia believes that the conceptual nature of the album did not particularly benefit him.[2] Sergei Budkin from Experty.by expressed the opinion that on this album, the musicians deliberately abandoned the surround sound and rich arrangements, so listening to their songs is sometimes a very difficult task.[1]
