Critical reception

Robert Taylor at AllMusic calls Premonition "very monotonous with less than memorable melodies and little variety in [MacAlpine's] guitar sound" and "A slightly better than average release in a tired genre." He nonetheless praised MacAlpine's fast guitar work and the "excellent" contributions of drummer Deen Castronovo, but remarked that "the predictable song structures limit the possibilities of the music."^[1]
