Reception

Steven Gullotta of Brutal Resonance criticized the generic direction of the band, saying "the vocals were awful and didn't sound native, the music was bland and boring and sounded like a rip off of Rage Against the Machine." [2] Trubie Turner of ReGen awarded the album four out of five stars and said "the album hits hard with a confidence that can only come from years of successfully honing craft and playing to the strengths and signatures that audiences have come to love and expect from 16volt." [3]
