Critical reception

Template:Album ratings Neil Criddle of Dead Press stated that "Heartbeats" "sets things off perfectly, with a frenetically aggressive chorus with Gunn's lyrical pace intensifying, culminating in a real sense of urgency and vitality".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Stephen Hill of Metal Hammer stated that "album closer "Sing Me to Sleep" has a dreamy, robotic nightmare vibe, "Wade in the Water" addresses the Flint, Michigan water crisis using old blues and Tom Waits-esque dark crooning and album highlight "Black Rifle" is a piano-led ballad with a funeral stomp that recalls the gravel-voiced acoustic hip hop of Everlast".<ref name="metal hammer">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
