Critical reception

Chris Gramlich of Exclaim! writes "Still, while The Journey So Far is an adequate starting point for this quintet, whose roster includes former Embodyment screamer Josh Ashworth, their next musical endeavour must take them farther than The Journey... if they wish to rise above second tier status. (Solid State)"^[3]
