Critical response
Vibe noted that "Messiah" was "brimming [with] raw energy while a grinding bass rhythm chugs along in the background with an overlay of powerfully deep vocals". Mixmag commented that the Skrillex and Nero remix "should boost the production outfit further into the EDM stratosphere". Dancing Astronaut praised the release, commenting that "listeners can hear the power behind Skaar’s silky androgynous voice" and "adding the sounds of Skaar’s gritty soulful voice prove dubstep does not have to be the cliche “bass in your face” genre it has become".
