Bring the Noise reviewer Tamsyn Wilce praised the album's range of power and soft elements, along with the cooperation of the vocals and the guitar riffs, although criticized the song Pinnacle for the poor use of vocals and "strange synths in the background", however went on to review the rest of the album positively. The review placed them along the likes of Mallory Knox, Anberlin and The Blackout.
Ourzonemags review called the album a mixture of "anthemic rock" and "pop-infused", calling them a completely different band, stating while the band has changed, there are still elements of their previous efforts still there.
