Music journalist Ned Raggett wrote a mixed to positive review, describing the album as "dreadfully magnificent in its arrangements of sheer sonic overload, sculpted to be an opera-of-sorts in a black pit" and concluded that "it's a well-done, if off-putting, approach."^[3] Noel Gardner of The Quietus compared the music favorably to the bludgeoning sound of Khanate and Swans and said "the amount of ground Gnaw Their Tongues covers, while achieving a certain stubborn musical inertia, is truly impressive."^[4]
