The album was well received by critics. On Discogs, which assigns a normalised rating out of 5 to reviews from critics, the album has an average score of 4.67 based on 3 reviews.[8] Thomas Smith of NME praised "Broke Days, Party Nights" for its Beastie Boys-esque sound, and "Price of Living" featuring Dennis Lyxzén and Jason Butler for how the rapper addresses and critiques the current political system. "Future Heroine" and "Closing Ceremony" were praised for having heavy drums, and chunky riffs respectively. "Your Orbit" was "a softer and more melodic side [being] shown", but was by no means lower in quality. "Bad Habit" and "Cold of the World" were compared to the 1990s style of music and rapper M.I.A.[6]

Jonty Cornford summarised the album as "Synth-laden punk anthems with real edge" and recommended it to fans of DZ Deathrays, Art vs. Science, Waax, and Refused.[7]
