The album received mostly positive reviews, but also mixed reviews from several critics. JesusFreakHideout rated the album 4 out of 5 and stated: "At the end of this 34-minute album, you realize The Color Morale does it better than most in the genre. There's nothing unique here, but it's more excellent than you would expect from a fairly young band. Their sound is more mature than their age. If you like Underoath, Gwen Stacy, or A Bullet For Pretty Boy, than this one could be your next favorite."[3]
