Olivier Badin of Metal Hammer praised the album as a " technical and brutal death metal tour de force", but criticized the second half of the track Unequivocal for "being basically just anoutro more than anything else." [4] Greg Pratt of Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles spoke highly of the album for its energy. In particular, he praised the album's opening track Infinitesimal to the Infinite for having "an absurd amount of zest and passion, and swirling tech-death riffs to die for." [5]
