AllMusic gave the album a four star rating and remarked, "Yet another effortless reimagining of peak-period Y2K nu-metal, the set builds upon their balanced blend of sweeping melodies, brutal sonic attacks, and irresistible singalong choruses."[2]
Melinda Welsh of Spill Magazine stated, "Each track on the album really connects the band with its fans with its deep, dark, lyrics that relate to the daily mental health struggles, while comforting them with the familiarity of Tetrarch's hypnotizing and unmistakable sounds," assigning it a rating of four and a half out of five.[5]
Elliot Leaver of Distorted Sound rated the album seven out of ten, describing it as "arguably the best representation of why it was so beloved" and noting, "it feels like a compilation of all the best bits, a homemade mixtape for Sony Walkmans and cassette players that would be taken on road trips and outings."[3]
Metal Hammer's Merlin Alderslade assigned the album a rating of seven out of ten and stated, "Still, as a fun, energetic metal album for those who have always loved their rock music catchy as hell and brimming with snotty angst, it ticks every box you could ask for."[4]
