Critical reception


JaME gave the album a positive review, saying "...they are serious about and capable of realizing their goal of "world domination."[1] J-Generation noted that the album was "bigger, tougher, deeper" than the band's previous releases and that it "...proves Band-Maid’s ready to crush any protests that their cute persona disqualifies them from the "real rock" club.[7]


Accolades


Chama and Chiaki of Gekirock listed the album as the fourth and sixth best album of 2016, respectively.[8]
