Musikreviews.de website editor Nils Herzog praised Candace Caksalain for clean vocals and approved the presence of Corey Taylor on the tracks Ember Drive, My Last Stand and Addicted [4] . PopMatters e-magazine critic Adrien Begrand also paid tribute to the singer Walls of Jericho, who was previously known as one of the best female screamers in extreme music, and in the current mini-album, she discovered the excellent vocal range, especially in the show-off soul “My Last Stand” and the predictable, but well-performed power ballad "No Saving Me" [5] . The regular author of Metal Forge, Justin Donnelly, highlighted the duet of Kaksalain and Taylor - “Addicted”, combining proximity to acoustic Stone Sour and the sound of the hardcore Walls of Jericho [6] .
