The online magazine Wall of Sound rated the album with 7.5 / 10 points, but at the same time sharply criticized the change of style, away from hard metal to pop music: “ Remember how frontman Oli Sykes trolled fans into thinking the band were going to be included on Justin Bieber's 2016 Purpose Tour through the UK? Well, it's kind of like he / they have taken that joke seriously and gone down the path to see what happens, but realistically, they've been progressing towards something like this since the Sempiternal album cycle finished. ”(German:“ Do you remember how front man Oli Sykes trolled the fans by reading them to believe that the band would be part of Justin Bieber's 2016 Porpuse Tour of Great Britain. Well, it's kind of like he / she does this Taken joke seriously and walked this path to see what happens, but realistically, they have been moving towards something like this since the Sempiternal album cycle ended.
