Kirkus Reviews were more critical in their commentary saying "the author displays high ambition, covering themes of duty, disgrace and redemption, and Yefgenii's story possesses a certain grandeur. But the character himself is a cipher, a prop to build a plot around. The protagonist never quite comes alive, and so neither does the novel.

Praising the band's "distinctive voice", Popmatters' Craig Hayes observed that Vermis extended the band's "continually refined" creative trajectory by "bringing more artful sculpturing to its downtuned dissonance and complex time signatures, and setting that against a backdrop of often droning and industrial textures. The band’s work has evolved to become steadily more nerve-shredding and formidable, with the usual riff-based shreds of death metal mutilated into a seething and polychromatic canvas of avant-garde atmospherics".

Inside-right Hughie Gannon broke his jaw in the process of scoring the only goal of the final and missed the celebrations, having to spend a week in hospital. The following season was another write-off, but the committee were finally able to put together a balanced squad for 1959–60, and some of the best results in years saw Dundalk go into 1960 at the top of the League table, finishing three points off the top that season. The club's highest finish in 12 seasons lead to optimism that the lean years might be coming to an end, and, to help make the case, a second Leinster Senior Cup was picked up in 1960–61. Then, with trainer Gerry McCourt (a veteran of the 1932–33 League winning side) having to manage a squad split between separate training bases in Dundalk and Dublin, they won their first League title for 30 years in 1962–63 in nerve-shredding fashion.
