Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic writes: "The Road Less Traveled has a handful of heavy, crunching riffs and a powerful, post-grunge velocity that occasionally makes Six Feet Deep a visceral rush, but the group has a problem with coming up with memorable hooks and melodies, which ultimately sinks the album"[1]WordPress writes:"The Road Less Traveled proved that Six Feet Deep wasn’t just a one-trick post-thrash / hardcore pony, and can mature musically. Too bad they broke up after this release, which means that we’ll never know what hights they would have achieved. Highly recommended."[2]
