Reception

Fabryka Music Magazine lauded Capital Punishment for its interesting direction supported by good arrangements and production combined with Unit:187's decision to move towards a mainstream direction. [3] Trubie Turner of ReGen said the album captures the band at their "despite its impressive production and composition, Out for Blood definitely suffers from a tendency to blend together due to its lack of divergence in tempo and gives an overall feeling of being stuck in one gear the entire time" and "an impressive, heavy, and gritty coldwave showcase that unfortunately comes across as too restrained." [4]
