Lior Stein of Metal Temple.com wrote "This is clearly not the best upshot of what Blaze Bayley has been working on throughout his solo career.

"The King Of Metal" is a solid venture slightly beyond average and no more even with its good intentions."

During the recording stage of the album, Blaze ran a competition of his official forum to guess the names of the songs in the track list.

He also kept a video diary during the recording which could be view on his Official Facebook page and YouTube channel.
