The album generally received positive reviews from music critics. Pitchfork critic Kim Kelly described the record as "an intense listen, and a wholly cathartic one as well," and further explained: "There are plenty of moments of outright aggression, bleak, harrowing passages of unrelenting blasts, narrated by a chaotic, urgent voice that veers between angry wails and sparse, Slint-like sotto voce intonations depending on the lyrical bent."[3] PopMatters' Craig Haynes regarded the album as the band's "chef-d’œuvre." Haynes also stated: "Merging melodic elegance with blackened rancor might seem on paper to be an incongruent mix. But the longer you listen, the more it all makes perfect, albeit idiosyncratic, sense – admirably reflecting the conflict and confusion of life itself."[4] Christopher R. Weingarten of Spin described the album as "a circling Venn diagram where math rock and black metal meet" and "more bleak shame-spiral than Liturgical transcendence."[1]
