Critical reception[]
In her review for Metal Hammer, Sophie Maughan rated the album with three stars from five, noting that: "... The five-piece encompass that heavy-yet-emotive ethos on their debut full-length, serving up a sound charged with earnest euphoria and vitriolic nuance." and concluding that "...This band wears their influences on their sleeves, but there are moments where artistic reverence could easily be interpreted as imitation. Stitched Up Heart now need to concentrate on establishing their own signature sound in order to avoid flatlining."[3]
Matthew Cox, in his review for Shockwave Magazine considered that: "...In an era of trite pop imitators and synthesized sounds, this album metaphorically sends listeners to a time when lyrics and presence of a group of musicians defined their genre. Never Alone personifies the new hard rock genre to near perfection."[4]
