Signaling in a three star review by New Noise Magazine, Nathaniel Lay states, "Midwest Modesty probably doesn’t beat out the Before Their Eyes debut for most fans (no surprise there), but it could very well become the runner-up in the band’s discography. It’s well written, tight, and (for the most part) organized in a successful flow."^[2] Kevin Hoskins, indicating in a four and a half star review at Jesus Freak Hideout, writes, "So what does Midwest Modesty have in store? Simply put, it's an album that all current BTE fans and hard rock lovers will deeply appreciate."^[1]
