reception

Rock Hard magazine put the album at 384th place in its list of 500 records in 2007. Thomas Kupfer pointed out the “all-destructive production” as positive. The band hardly allow the listener a “breather”. Korn would have "redefined himself with this album". In the magazine itself, Conny Schiffbauer rated the album with eight out of ten points. She wrote that in Take a Look in the Mirror there was little to remember the “glossy tracks” of the predecessor. The album has become a "riff-oriented lump of hate that focuses less on effects", which is "dirtier" but also less catchy than Untouchables . The magazine Visions subjected the record to a "four-ear test". While Jochen Schliemann discovered some "finally again consistently high quality songs", saw the "curve" of the band pointing upwards and awarded eight out of twelve points, Jan Schwarzkamp wrote: "Corn wear themselves out. Anyone who says otherwise is deaf. How many booming bass albums by this band does our sad world have to endure? ”He awarded three out of twelve points.
