Reviews of the album ranged from mixed to positive. Critics disagreed on how experimental the album was. Blabbermouth 's Anne Erickson found the album to be "eclectic" in its variety of styles, in keeping with the band’s tendency to experiment. [4] In contrast, Emily Swingle, writing for Metal Hammer , said that the album had less experimentation than previous albums and was "not a huge leap forward" for the band. [1]
