Steve Bauer at The Academy of Shred writes, "In today's hard rock/metal music scene it is hard to come across a band that cannot only play proficiently, but write good music that is pure and honest. Just when you think you've heard it all, a 3 piece hard rock outfit from Japan comes from out of nowhere to blow your mind with a superb debut disc - Triple Whammy. King of Darkness (aka K.O.D.) is the band and hard rock is their forte. This band delivers a powerful sound for a 3 piece, featuring the solid rhythm section of Tadayoshi Iwamoto on drums and Genta Nakamura on bass and vocals. As a guitar freak myself, K.O.D. mainman, Takahiro Hashimoto is a absolute delight to listen to and his playing is what any fan of rock guitar lives for. Takahiro's catchy melodic leads, technical-with-feel soloing, and driving rhythms are the core of the K.O.D. sound. So what are you waiting for, grab this heavy guitar monster and break out your air-guitar!"
