Critical reception

Steve Beebee of Kerrang! wrote that the album "recalls the grungy heft of their classic 2006 debut while simultaneously sounding like something utterly of its own time", concluding that it "hits as hard as anything they've ever done". John Aizlewood of Classic Rock felt that the band's "formula remains reassuringly simple: songs that pack a ferocious punch; guitar fireworks that crash and burn; Chris Robertson's grizzled, last-man-standing vocals; and an admirable refusal to lighten the load with anything as compromising as a ballad".
