AllMusic[2]

Don Kline of AllMusic called SuperCoolNothing "a menacing album full of whisper-to-scream verses, explosive choruses, and brooding electronic soundscapes." He awarded the album four out of five stars, concluding that "in a genre where imitation is often the easiest path to commercial success, Eric Powell continues to concoct his own unique blend of industrial rock, punk, and metal."[2] Last Sigh Magazine credited the larger budget with helping 16volt develop as artists, saying "there is a variation in styles that usually comes with relaxed studio time; one of the perks of a major record deal."[3] Dana Bove placed SuperCoolNothing at number ten for CMJ's top reader choices of the month.[4]
