The album received mixed reviews. James Shotwell from Under the Gun Review said, "Overall, the record is not bad, and there are certainly some very notable tracks. I just can’t get over the fact that they sound so much like Asking Alexandria, who I love by the way, and it somewhat bothers me that they remind me of them so much. When looking for a new band to sink my teeth into I try to look for unique songs, clever lyrics and solid musicianship. I can find some of these elements, and this band has great potential, but I’m not sure they have made it there quite yet."[3]
Todd Lyons from About.com strongly criticized the album saying, "Make Me Famous, with their debut It's Now Or Never, have become famous by igniting high-octane hatred across the metal diaspora. Hundreds of metal blogs agree, Make Me Famous is worse than a hot lead high colonic, . . . are they THAT bad? Yes."[2]
