Reception[]

Professional ratings
Review scores
SourceRating
Allmusic4/5 stars[2]

AllMusic awarded Closure four out of five stars, with its review by Alex Henderson saying "'Destruction' and 'Mind Over Matter' are relevant to the industrial-dance and EBM scenes, but, overall, the material is much closer to goth rock's brooding sorrow than industrial's in-your-face anger — and that is true of original songs like 'The Last Laugh' and 'Reasons' as well as an unlikely cover of P.J. Harvey's 'The River,' which is a radical departure from her version and works surprisingly well in a dark wave setting."[2] In writing for Electrogarden, critic Michael Casano awarded the album a ten.[3]
