The New Review[4]

Rating the album two stars from HM Magazine, Matthew Leonard says, "it's a weak attempt at the hardcore/metalcore genre."[2] Scott Fryberger, awarding the album four stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, writes, "Volition isn't a huge step up from Revival, soundwise, but I do think As Hell Retreats has surpassed it in general quality."[3] Giving the album four and a half stars at The New Review, Josh Velliquette states, "Volition is not a joyous listening experience. Volition is a musically varied album that stretches straight for the heart, praising and damning the privilege of decision making."[4]
