Awarding the album three and a half stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, Wayne Reimer states, "The Absolute is by no means flawless, but it's honest and shows real potential." [5] Michael Weaver, rating the album two and a half stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, says, "the release seems to feature a band suffering from an identity crisis." [6] Giving the album five stars from HM Magazine , Matthew Leonard writes, "Each song is unique in its sound with phenomenal technical guitar work, raspy mid-high range vocals, harmonized singing, and drumming that's so fast you gotta wonder if it's a drum machine." [3] Peter John Willoughby, rating the album a six out of ten for Cross Rhythms, says, "Whilst they haven't developed their own distinctive sound, it doesn't detract from their raw energy." [2] Awarding the album three stars from Indie Vision Music, Joshua Clark states, "a pretty solid debut album." [4] Dylan Powell, giving the album a six out of ten at Mind Equals Blown, writes, "The Absolute isn't a bad record." [7] Keith Anderson, giving the album four stars by The New Review, writes, "They bring a ton of technical magic to the album, but their sound is fresh enough my ear canals swallow them like a black hole consumes planets." [8]
All tracks are written by Ace Augustine, Tyler Chadwick, Doug Fellenbaum, and Ben Moser [9] .
