The album received mixed reviews, thanks in part to the band's recent loss of their main vocalist Jeff Davidson. Many critics also disliked the band's departure from their typical ska genre.

- It is significant that the last five tracks are mislabeled when played on a computer: "Interlude" is labeled as "So Cold"; "Regression" as "Chasing the Moon"; "Chasing the Moon" as "Lamont's Lament"; "Lamont's Lament" as "Untitled Track". This is because "Interlude" was intentionally unlabeled on the jacket as a Hidden Track and incorrectly labelled during mastering.
