AbsolutePunk critic Dre Okorley wrote: "The reigning allure of the twelve tracks is that they are peppered with a sort of Tragedy/From Ashes Rise hybrid, the throat-pulling melodic hardcore that Portland trademarked so well, but are still captured in the Birds In Row mystique." Okornely also concluded that the album "is in a league of its own, with hardly anything in its associated genres to be bullied by and rivaled."[1] Exclaim!'s Bradley Zorgdrager stated: "The record ends on a high note, as "Lovers Have Their Say" swells, but never fully climaxes, giving listeners a chance to reflect on the masterpiece they just took in as the feedback takes over."[2]
