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."^[3] Blurt called the album "killer guitar riffs, throbbing drums, and punk coolness all anchored by singer Lucas Silviera’s wickedly primal vocals."^[6] 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."^[7]
