Specifying in a three star review by HM Magazine , Nate Lake regards, "Telos is mixed very well, providing a crisp sound that stands out in a scene of generic metalcore acts." [3] Matt Conner, indicating in a three star review from CCM Magazine , recognizing, "Forevermore, Solid State’s newest signing, is going for 'interesting and enjoyable' on their new album, Telos." [2] Signaling in a four star review from Jesus Freak Hideout, Michael Weaver responds, "Forevermore have a lot to offer metal fans in Telos. It's certainly not the greatest metal album I've heard and it's not even the greatest debut I've heard, but it is a really, really solid release... Forevermore have some stout competition by releasing their album the same day as metalcore stalwarts War of Ages' stellar release, Supreme Chaos, but Telos can definitely compete." [5] Brody B., writes in a four star review from Indie Vision Music, replying, "Forevermore have crafted an enjoyable and incredibly solid debut record filled with tracks that show immense potential." [4] Awarding the album seven and a half stars for Jesus Wired, Topher P. writes, "For the most part the flow is a good thing; however there are times when the continuity grows tiresome, and everything seems to be a little monotonous."
