" In a four star review for Jesus Freak Hideout's second opinion, Michael Weaver wrote, " While this isn't the Anberlin album the selfish fan in me wanted for their grand finale, it's a really nice send-off regardless and it's nice to see them go out the way they wanted . " In a four star review for Jesus Freak Hideout's Additional 2 Cents, John DiBiase wrote, " This may not be the mighty bow-out that all fans were hoping for, but it's easily some of the best alt rock of the year, regardless .
