When asked by Ultimate Classic Rock about playing on Wakeley's single, Satriani said, "Playing guitar on Kitt’s new album has been a fun, exhilarating experience, and a musical challenge, too. Kitt's huge, cinematic sound makes each one of his songs a powerful sonic journey. I’m so happy I was able contribute to this stellar album."[4]

Conflicted received favorable reviews with Metal Talk writing, "An incredibly potent mix of Heavy Rock rhythms juxtaposed with a classical orchestra and choir, this is cinematic music at its most powerful and thrilling."[5]
