Reception

Tyler Jenke from ToneDeaf said "Between songs which sound like they've got the potential to top the US country charts, and introspective displays of professional songwriting, The McClymonts have truly outdone themselves with their latest record", while Zadie Collins from ToneDeaf said "Featuring some of the strongest songs of their career, mixed in with some of their most powerful and precise performances to date, Mayhem to Madness is already on track to be regarded one of the genre's finest in recent memory" calling it "possibly one of the best Australian country albums of the year."
