Writing for Blabbermouth.net, Ray Van Horn Jr. stated: "As ever, Victor tinkers with the core sound by tapping into agro metal, hardcore, anthem rock and industrial while remaining true to the marching crunch and thrash that go into a Prong record." [3] Invisible Oranges critic Tom Campagna described the record as "a solid thrash-heavy album with tendencies leaning toward the band's salad days of industrial music." [5] Emma Johnston of Louder Sound regarded the record as a "focused and determined work with a fiery heart," further stating that "this old dog has plenty of bite left in it." [4] Loudwire's Michael Christopher noted that "Tommy Victor has shown that not only is he a major fan of metal in general, but he's got ideas and excitement to share." [1]
