| AllMusic |   [3] |
| Rock Sound |  [4] |
Theo Kavadias of AllMusic gave Vengeance Is Mine three out of five stars, noting the music for lacking direction while crediting it for "introduc[ing] a darker, dirtier electronic sound, both detailed and cluttered" that "conceals gems, and what initially may sound like too much going on actually reveals hidden harmonies, noises, and progressions." [3] Industrial Reviews awarded the album a three out of five, commending the band for embracing more of a dance club oriented sound but criticizing their lack of energy. [5]
All lyrics are written by Gary Dassing, except "All That Your Soul Desires" by Jon Pyre and "Cherished & Suppressed" by Larry Penn; all music is composed by Gary Dassing
