...Is Committed received mixed reviews from music critics. Sputnikmusic reviewer Caleb Robinson gave the album a 3 out of 5, saying "has some of the worst, most cringe-inducing lyrics I've ever heard" yet "the album is brimming with energy, and the band (more specifically, Max Bemis) has proven that they're still capable of writing earworms." [6] Riff Magazine gave it a 7 out of 10, writing "Bemis' brashness may not be for everyone, but longtime fans of the band will likely find a familiar sound." [7] New Noise Magazine gave it a 4.5 out of 5, calling it "an anthemic explosion that will not stop until you hear everything he has to say." [8]
All tracks are written by Max Bemis.
