The EP received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Zach Redrup from Dead Press! rated the EP positively but calling it: "Though it's intense, powerful and hellish from start to end, there's not much here that makes this band worth picking out more so than the flood of hundreds of other bands producing the same fairly generic post-hardcore/metalcore releases that are hitting the shelves week in and week out. This is only their debut EP release, and leaves much time for Like Moths To Flames to show their full worth and potential yet. There's still chance for these guys to pull out the big guns."[3]
