Critical reception
Clash magazine called the first single "Crunching heavyweight rock" and comparing the band with "pomp" of Queens of the Stone Age and "matching blistering energy" of early Foo Fighters. Billboard called the opening song a "pounding track" and praised Conor Mason's "operatic vocals".
