Distorted Sound6/10[12]

Distorted Sound scored the album 6 out of 10 and said: "Heaven in Hiding, for anyone who appreciates a solid metalcore album full of dynamic shifts, blanketed electronics, and soaring peaks and dipping valleys, is a perfectly fine album. It knows exactly what it is and it delivers in a solid manner. However, to those enmeshed in the seeming resurgence of metalcore pushing itself in new, exciting ways, this album will feel all too familiar. It may sound like Architects, but Imminence can certainly learn from those giants and work to use their greatest assets to craft a sound all their own, and instead of copying and pasting in the future, hopefully learning to craft a breath-taking new style of painting that can take its place in the current and continuing metalcore renaissance."[12]
