Reception

Dave Beech of Clash Music scored this album a 7 out of 10, calling the music, "intense, claustrophobic and often cathartic".[5] In Kerrang!, Mischa Pearlman gave Life Is Not a Lesson a 3 out of 5, stating that the music act shows promise, but that this album needs more length and variation.[6] Spin's Danielle Chelosky characterized this release as "uncomfortable and eccentric" as well as "a hidden opportunity to start a conversation, and to invite others to inhabit Russin's space".[7]
