Critical reception

The Dallas Voice wrote that the album "comes off a bit over polished but the quality of songs here surpasses any critique of overproduction." Blurt called the album "killer guitar riffs, throbbing drums, and punk coolness all anchored by singer Lucas Silviera’s wickedly primal vocals." The Advocate wrote that the album "switches from snarling swagger and foot-stomping rock to beautifully harmonized ballads seamlessly, refusing to be typecast as one genre or another."
