Reception

Allmusic writer Corey Apar gave the album four stars, stating "The bleeding urgency that both bands discharge with such directed force and street-level ferocity is truly refreshing...Deadline is surprisingly still incredibly accessible and even poppy."[1] Chris Moran of Punknews.org gave it three and a half stars, calling it "a pleasant piece of punk history".[2] Ty Trumbull, writing foe Exclaim!, viewed it as "a good example of what a split record should be: two bands that, while not completely dissimilar, each bring something different to the table."[3] Andrew Miller for Alternative Press, awarded it three stars, stating that the album "confirms the genre's continued vitality and vigilance".[4]
