Reception edit

Sonic Boom praised the band for exploring new sounds, saying "by not choosing to remain stuck in a musical rut, the band has chosen to stride forth into new musical territory without forgetting their original musical roots."[3] Aiding & Abetting gave the album a more mixed review, criticizing the direction and writing as being inconsistent.[4]
