| metal.de | 8/10 | "Das Album atmet Bedrohlichkeit, die gerade in der Subtilität der Songs steckt" |
| laut.de | 2/5 (Redaktion) 4/5 (Leser) | "Der Popcorn-Mephisto wird immer mehr zur Witzfigur" |
| Rolling Stone | 3,5/5 | "...sounds like a beach party on the River Styx" |
| musikexpress.de | 2,5/6 | "Der Lord of Fuck begnügt sich mit Blümchensex" |
| allmusic.com | 4/5 | "Taking their sound in a new, unforeseen bluesy direction accomplishes the near impossible by making Marilyn Manson sound even more sinister than before" |
| NME | 6/10 | "It's no classic, but perhaps the surprise here is that Manson’s music can work without the shock shtick. Being a wicked voice in the wilderness, it turns out, quite suits him" |
| plattentests.de | 7/10 | "...neue[r], unverhohlene[r] Hang zu Melodie und Klarheit" |
| drownedinsound.com | 8/10 | "Here he unleashes that side of his frayed character for the first time in about 14 years" |
