Connor Atkinson of Exclaim! gave it 6 out of 10 and said: "Frontman Rory Rodriguez's clean vocal performance shines on "Cold, Dark Winter" and "Counterpart", emphasizing the potential that Dayseeker has if they continue to let their sweet spots shine. Here's hoping they do just that on future releases." [9] New Noise Magazine gave the album 5 out of 5 and stated: "If you thought Dayseeker couldn't get even better than their sophomore release, Origin , the band aims to prove you wrong with this one. Dreaming Is Sinking /// Waking Is Rising is potential recognized and unleashed tenfold. Other artists of the genre should take note here. Many, many notes, that is." [10]
