William I. Lengeman III of AllMusic notes the "hard-edged industrial-styled beats (b.p.m. included) from Jason Whitcomb and Jeff Hillard on a variety of electronics, percussion and vocals, with guest bass and piano from Dan Bates. Several of the 12 tracks feature vocals, and the rest are sample-heavy instrumentals." [1]
