Critical reception

CITR-FM described the album as "violent in spirit" and "not always accessible", yet still a "worthwhile...sonic journey that challenges every spectrum of electronica." [3] Exclaim! wrote that the album was "the electro equivalent of a machinegun blowing the locks off of cheerier electro duos", claiming that Opaine's vocals are "the most aggressive of the instruments." [4]
