Reception edit
Andrew Hickey from Beat Magazine said "This Was Tomorrow finds Melbourne rising star Seth Sentry looking at society and his place in it. The relatable rapper takes us through a typical day, introducing the listener to many of the album's running themes on opening cut 'Campfire'. On album stand-out 'My Scene' he tells outlandish yet believable tales about trying to fit into social groups." Hickey concluded saying "This Was Tomorrow is a triumph and easily one of Australia's finest hip hop releases in 2012."[9]
Chris Yates from The Music said "This Was Tomorrow is a landmark Australian hip hop record."[10]
