During June, Candy spoke with magazine Bullett about her experience with RCA Records, stating: "I feel like I’ve been in a weird Matrix glitch for the past three or four years, but I’m finally out of it—back at square one, but way healthier."

I never particularly wanted to make mainstream pop music—it just seemed like a great opportunity and a really cool way for me to build a fucking massive platform to spread a conscious, positive message to young girls and the queer community.

"[3] During the same interview, she claimed to have worked with many other artists for the record; "I have basically all of my dream collaborators – there's Boys Noize, Rico Nasty and TOOPOOR".

[52] A PopMatters critic also enjoyed Sexorcism, opining that while it was not very accessible, "it does stand as the second coming of Brooke Candy -- in all of her nightmarish but playful, horned-up but at least honest, seedy and sexy glory.
