Greg Prato of AllMusic praised the band for their seamless blending of disparate musical genres and called the album "one of 1998's most rewarding, original, and ambitious recordings." A critic for Ink 19 gave it a mixed review but called the compositions unique but somewhat grating.[4] CMJ New Music Monthly gave the album a positive review and said "though more of an obscurist's delight than a proper metal band, SC3 has enough grindcore drum blasts and highspeed thematic switches to make it interesting to metal minds."[5]
