At Alternative Press, Mischa Pearlman rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, stating that the release "pulls no punches" because she says "Rather, it delivers them in quick succession, offering up another heavy-handed dose of hardcore punk as it is suppose to be"; however, she says "Although, this is more of the same, that's precisely the point: This is no-frills, passionate hardcore with a purpose", and that fans should "Take it or leave it, punk."[10]
