Reception[]

Steven Gullotta of Brutal Resonance criticized the generic direction of the band, saying "the vocals were awful and didn't sound native, the music was bland and boring and sounded like a rip off of Rage Against the Machine."^[2] Trubie Turner of ReGen awarded the album four out of five stars and said "the album hits hard with a confidence that can only come from years of successfully honing craft and playing to the strengths and signatures that audiences have come to love and expect from 16volt."^[3]
