Reception
Blabbermouth rated the album an 8.5 out of 10, writing "Digital Noise Alliance promises to increase the momentum that has propelled them this far. It's a real joy to hear them back on such consistent, top form. The glorious comeback keeps on coming." A review by Sputnikmusic stated: "For those that have been waiting for an actual legitimate return to Queensryche’s classic sound, Digital Noise Alliance is it. It delivers everything their 2013 self-titled release did, but it also includes a lot of elements that were missing such as the sophisticated nuance in the songwriting."Personnel
