Aaron Badgley of The Spill Magazine gave the album a very positive rating of 4.5/5. Aaron elaborates further on the album below.[3]
Ciravolo has come up with a brilliant album, collaborating with a diverse list of artists. He lets the guests do what they do well and incorporates all of their talent into it to create a cohesive album. Beauty In Chaos is a dark, moody masterpiece for our dark moody times.
