Sputnikmusic 2.5/5 [2]

In a mixed review, Sputnikmusic wrote: "There are flashes of that transgressive energy that permeate their usual sound and gut-punch the listener with that good ol' viciousness, but sonically [the album] occupies a space that doesn't plot a future trajectory for the outfit, or further the one they've already started traversing."
