Critic Reviews:
- “This album is a lot more focused & the song writing is more conducive as well. It’s very rare that a 2nd album is on a par with the 1st, yet Devilskin have managed it.” – allabouttherock.co.uk
- “Everything is ten times louder and ten times more refined than We Rise, in the best way possible.” – muzic.net.nz
