Critical reception[]

Exclaim! wrote that "with all the swagger of Southern rock but all the slummy goodness of New York City punk, the Cancer Bats slam through 12 impressively heavy tracks."[7] The Skinny called the album "a pick-squealing romp of metal riffery interspersed with some slamming punk chord progressions."[5]
