Critical reception
Maura Johnston of Rolling Stone called the song "a shape-shifting cut that surrounds the vocalist in (at different moments) dial-tone synths, charging strings, trap drums, and commanding piano chords, all of which are eventually steamrolled by heavy guitars and crashing drums".[1] NME reviewer Rishi Shah said the song "could be an entire album in itself", setting the tone for the rest of the album "with its unbearable, cinematic tension, which is then annihilated by a heaviness that chops through it like an executioner's axe".[2] Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of Billboard ranked the song as the second best from the album, describing it as "a transmuting whirl of an opener. [...] It's a harrowing first impression that pushes back against any expectations one might have when entering Vessel's world".[3]
