Reception

According to AllMusic, Jhazmyne's Lullabye is a "powerful metalcore album that finds strength in solid lyrical content." [1] In his review of the album, writer Kevin Stewart-Panko said the band "construct songs that hardcore kids will hurt themselves to without realising how much of a jazz influence goes into 7A7P's style and graphic design. They beat down the restrictive walls of what can go onto a hardcore record with the inclusion of piano études and acoustic guitar solos." [3]
