The recrod was met with critical acclim from ciritics and was praised for its change of pace while keeping the ethos and idenityy of the band intact.
"I love that the band haven’t just rehashed older material, and instead have pushed their creative genius even further. It’s almost ridiculous how good this album actually is. For a band to essentially disappear for a decade or so and return with some of their strongest material to date…well, it doesn’t happen very often." (Wonderboxmetal)[4]
