The album generally received positive reviews from critics. Metroactive critic Gabe Meline wrote: "Whereas most hardcore bands push to extremes of speed, spectacle and spazz, Ceremony deal in the rare commodity of restraint and show that the original genius of punk rock—letting urgency and purpose carry technically unvarnished music—is alive and well." John Gentile of Punknews.org stated: "Throughout Rohnert Park, Ceremony keeps throwing curveballs that don't feel like curveballs at all--they drop in unusual elements, but these strange pieces feel completely natural alongside their more traditional material."[1] Redefine magazine critic Peter Woodburn thought that "Rohnert Park is a great album that meanders a bit at times but quickly blasts itself back on track."[5] Adam Thomas of Sputnikmusic stated that "goes beyond making a statement, it reaffirms the continued survival of punk in not only this decade, but the decade after, and the decade after that."[6]
