Critical reception
The album generally received positive reviews. David Jeffries of Allmusic described the album as "the loudest, angriest, and most creative kraken since their 2005 album You'll Rebel to Anything," while also writing: "Think Ministry on helium and without the "do good" attitude, then sign up for duty, but only if your karma can take a significant hit." Derek Staples of Consequence of Sound wrote: "Although MSI’s messages generally lack the depth of electro-punk/industrial brethren like KMFDM, they’re still capable of divulging wisdom beneath a cloak of tongue-in-cheek satire."
