This is the band's first album with current Breaking Benjamin and former Red guitarist Jasen Rauch on bass and Phinehas drummer Isaiah Perez.

[3] Bassist Michael Valentine and drummer Dan Johnson would depart the band shortly after the single's release.

Maughan also praised the band's ability to "incorporate personal beliefs amongst huge, punchy hooks and pummelling riffs without coming across as overly preachy.

He stated that the album's more accessible sound doesn't come off as a negative and feels like a logical progression from Between Here and Lost.

"[13] A more mixed review came from James Hickie of Kerrang!, who said the album is more of the same from the band and called the cover of "Let Me Love You" a "novelty blip."
