Kerrang!3/5[11]

Kerrang! gave the album 3 out of 5 and stated: "There are aspirations for grandiosity on tracks like 'Neon Grave', and the poignant 'Midnight Eternal' does hit hard, but by the time the obligatory, uninspired acoustic number 'Paper Heart' rolls in, you're feeling empty. Ultimately it's not a bad record, but it also doesn't leave much of an impact."[11]
