Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that Deceased "temper their death-metal fury with a love for old-school thrash, which actually works well for them, keeping the music from getting too cartoonish."[1] CMJ New Music Report wrote that "[King] Fowley proudly and loudly prefers the glory days of superfast metal, when patches on acid-washed denim jackets reigned supreme and there was no rap or glam in sight."[7]
