Critical reception

The album received mixed to positive reviews. In a positive review by RockFeed, reviewer Brian Storm states "Day One features a plethora of larger than life choruses and infectious melodies, something that will likely pay off for them on rock radio." [5] and in another positive review by Randy Shatkowski of Anti-Hero Magazine, he says that "The triple-threat of clean, soaring vocals, in your face rap, and guttural roars makes for a unique combination, even if the individual pieces have been used before.". [3] Johnny Guagliardo of KillYourStereo.com says in a mixed review that "Day One seems to follow some (unintended) weird formula, which gives you a good song then a not so good one..." and goes on to say that "They’re recycling everything you heard in 1998, 2003 and then once again in 2007, merely under a new packaging."
