"The guitar leads are most certainly as capable as ever, but risk listener boredom at times by continuing to cling to rather basic, extremely familiar patterns, arpeggios, and other behavior. The general quality level has improved modestly, however, as there is a bit more experimentation and freedom of guitar work on II (though some listeners will undoubtedly think of it as quite minimal), as well as noticeably better clarity - everything sounds a little cleaner and easier to distinguish. Interestingly, my favorite track from this album is the rather fun and capable cover of ABBA's "Mamma Mia", which I think I've spun at least a dozen times now".

"Singer Erik Blomkvist, now replaced by Gustav Blide, gives the album some needed personality, and the heavy and neoclassical influences try to provide some variety, even if their goal is not really achieved. In fact, despite having gained a courage point with the marvellous - and risky - cover of ABBA's "Mamma Mia", the band lacks the bravery of going out of their safe ground, providing an album in which circa eight tracks sound exactly the same. This said, the overall impression is that with basic musicianship, an even more trivial songwriting and a foreseeable pace the band managed to reach its purpose: an easy, fun and simple album. No finery, no flights of fancy: just pretty raw power metal".
