Critical reception
Template:Music ratings On its release, reviewers of Record World considered group "completely self-contained" and expressed an opinion that "hard rockers and heavy metal enthusiasts should delight to "I'm Lost" and "Struck Down".[1] Billboard in its review of 15 July 1978 found the band on this album "continues its emphasis on high energy rock'n'roll in the Van Halen tradition". In comparison with debut LP this one has more polished sound due to Robinson's production. Reviewer concluded that "the writing is also sharper and more on the lyrical side, delivered convincingly and instrumentally supported by pulsating guitar riffs" and named among the best tracks the following: "Struck Down", "Tried to Show You", "Pleasure in My Heart" and "Dreams of Egypt".[2]
