Reception

Rock Hard Magazine gave the record a positive review.[2] An 8/12 review came from VISIONS.de, describing parts of the album as strenuous, but overall interesting.[3]

A review from Iowa State Daily was less enthusiastic about Sunshine, describing it as "frivolous" and stating that the band had "sold out from the start".[5] Matt Capuano, writing for The Daily Titan, provided a much more positive review, comparing several aspects of the band to that of other nu metal bands such as Korn, Orgy, Deftones and Sevendust.[6]

A retrospective mention of the album in a 2019 article written by Axl Rosenberg of MetalSucks highlighted the instrumentation but criticised the vocals on the closing song Blunt Force Trauma: "The riff [...] is sufficiently heavy to make it kind of a bummer when the frontman starts doing a Sonny Sandoval."[7]
