Professional ratings
Review scores
SourceRating
AllMusic3/5 stars[4]

John Bush of AllMusic says "the group breathes life into somewhat tired industrial-rock, even though the requisite metal guitars, distortion and drum programming are nothing new."[4] Last Sigh Magazine recommended the album for fans of Nine Inch Nails 1989 album Pretty Hate Machine and described it as "a great mix of synth and guitar work and is chockfull of electronic sound -- perfect for the industrial/electronic scene."[5] Sonic Boom agreed with the comparison for the "sheer depth, power, and stark originality" of the compositions and said "Bryan manages to bring a guitar into his music with a depth and a sound that only people like Trent Renzor can dream of."[6]
