DeBaser reviews compare Charon to Sentenced, Paradise Lost, HIM, Entwine, Candlemass and In Flames; praise focuses on J.P. Leppäluoto's vocal work, twin-guitar harmonies and polished melancholic songwriting.

DeBaser reviews praise Charon's melodic, melancholic gothic-metal sound and J.P. Leppäluoto's vocal delivery. Tearstained and Songs for the Sinners are highlighted for strong melodies, twin-guitar work and radio-friendly melancholy. Reviewers note clear influences from Finnish peers and classic gothic/doom acts. Overall: high-quality execution rather than radical originality.

For:Fans of Finnish gothic/doom metal, listeners of Sentenced, Paradise Lost and late-90s heavy-dark music

 "J.P. Leppaluoto delivers an excellent vocal performance with a deep, confident, and convincing voice even in the more explicitly melodic parts, while the axemen Sipila and Hast are no less, skillfully weaving sad guitar textures, brilliant twin solos and powerful heavy-doom style riffs."

 "An absurd hybrid between deep tones akin to the early Candlemass and the sweetened anger of \"Ville Laihiala\" from the aforementioned Oulu combo."
