[3] Ian Webber, rating the album seven out of ten for Cross Rhythms, writes, "At times punk influences can be heard as the onslaught from these 10 tracks never lets up." [2] Giving the album three and a half stars at Christ Core, Brian Morrissette says, "Truer Living with a Youthful Vengeance is a great album, but I sadly think this LP will be overlooked unjustly by many fans of the hardcore genre."

[4] Giving the album two and a half stars from Jesus Freak Hideout, Michael Weaver states, "Dynasty brings a pretty good sound back to what has felt like a lost genre." [6] Wayne Reimer, rating the album two stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, says, "what we have here in Truer Living... is an honest mess, with real passion and no-holds-barred faith-filled lyrics, but unfortunately a sub-par performance." [5] Signaling in a 1.5 out of ten review at Mind Equal Blown, Garry Lee describes, "Truer Living With a Youthful Vengeance is a masterclass in musical mediocrity." [7]
