Rating the EP four out of ten at Exclaim! , Bradley Zorgdrager writes, "My Heart to Fear could use a heavy dose of Ritalin." [2] Tony D. Bryant, giving the EP three stars from HM Magazine , says, "it shows glimpses of things to come." [3] Awarding the EP four stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, Kevin Hoskins states, "the drums move at a ridiculous pace, the guitars practically fly off the handle, and the combination of growls and singing make for a sound similar to Haste The Day." [5]

Todd Lyons, giving the EP four stars for About.com, states, "With all their flashes of interesting, solid musicianship especially from Taylor Pool’s keyboard fills, the EP wrestles itself above a raggedy demo presentation, but threatens to cave in under the weight of its overtly obvious message." [1] Rating the EP three and a half stars at Louder Than the Music, Jono Davies says, "This is most definitely a real metal fans, metal EP!" [6] Brody B., awarding the EP four stars from Indie Vision Music, writes, "While the disk has a few minor flaws, it still keeps me optimistic about what these guys have to offer as they continue to grow."
