Isolation received generally negative to mixed reviews from critics. Louder Sound gave the album mixed review and stated: "The ability to straddle the jarring genres of metal and electronica alone – and with conviction – is no easy feat, so when a band starts chucking in everything but the kitchen sink, cohesion can quickly give way to confusion."[7]

New Noise gave the album 1.5 out of 5 and stated: "On their own, the 12 tracks that comprise Isolation aren't bad, per se, they just shouldn't be grouped together. As the record drags on, the listener is forced to relive the same sound 12 times with slight variation as if simply moving up in levels of an arcade game. The major issue with Isolation is that it seems more like an offshoot of an idea that founding (and only remaining original) member Jonny McBee came up with while playing with Garage Band and an N-64 in his basement."[8]
