Reception

Metal Hammer critic Sophie Maughan gave the record a positive review, writing: "Emotional soliloquies aside, the main allure comes in the form of pounding basslines (Drug Music), twisted beats (X-Hale), and underlying old-school sensibilities with 1999 sure to delight longtime fans and stir up the pits." [6] Grim Lord of New Noise Magazine stated: "After all these years, very little has changed and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the final product." [7]
