Reception

On October 5, 2019, Jim Shahen Jr. of the Times-Union commented that the single "Into the Summer" had a "sinewy post-disco vibe [that] fits perfectly in the modern rock landscape", further noting that it highlighted the band's "ability to move past its beginnings as a Faith No More-inspired rap-metal hybrid." [5] Adam Grundy of Chorus.fm wrote on April 17, 2020 that "what I have always appreciated about this band is that they never make the same record twice." He added, "this record is no exception to this rule, as Incubus continues to cover new ground." [6]
