Critical reception

Exclaim! wrote that the band "has entered the upper realm of gore-grinders," and praised the "nice, clear production sound ... that allows us to hear exactly what it is that gore-grind bands do with their instruments: grind, slash and hack their way through speedy and short bursts of dissonant grindcore."[6]
