[3] Guitarist Miranda Miller described writing the album as an "extremely creative" process done by the four band members and their producers.

She concluded by calling the album an "impressive debut" and "while the band's talent should guard against them being treated like a novelty, the most rebellious move the women of Cherri Bomb may make is just being who they are".

[6] Writing for Girls' Life, Rachael Ellenbogen wrote that in a music industry full of "pop princesses and auto-tuned maniacs", This Is the End of Control is "a breath of fresh, angst-infused air" with songs that stand out.

[10] Brian Giffin of Loud Magazine Australia commented that "Cherri Bomb have been attracting all the right kinds of attention, and much of it has even been for all the right reasons".

He describes the album as "a punchy collection of exuberant and catchy tunes that should bring a smile to the face of even the most cynical" and compliments the hooks the band writes.
