Critics commended the band on the stripped down sound achieved, and lead vocalist, Richard Roger's vocals.

Writing for It's All Dead reviewer Kiel Hauck wrote, "What makes Renditions unique is its simplicity.

"[3] Julie Conpo of Ghost Cult Magazine said, "The vocals are powerful and soulful, allowing you to completely absorb the lyrics and theme of the song.

The almost orchestral sound is impressive and proves that Secrets are not just a one-trick pony; their music is universal and they are talented musicians."

[4] Eddie Sims, of Musicology Online wrote a mixed review in which he appreciates the band's effort, but says that the acoustic versions fall short compared to the originals.
