 Johnny Loftus of AllMusic found the album better than 2001's "Life" but felt that Edsel Dope's take on the nu-metal formula was too reminiscent of Korn and Linkin Park with insincere introspection, concluding that "Dope has focused its fiery attack on "Group Therapy", and that should at least get the pit roiling at shows.But Edsel's agenda is still riddled with cliché, and this fact robs the record of any lasting spark.
