Critical reception
The album received mixed to positive reviews. In a positive review by RockFeed, reviewer Brian Storm states "Day One features a plethora of larger than life choruses and infectious melodies, something that will likely pay off for them on rock radio."{{Cite web|url=http://www.rockfeed.net/2016/02/24/review-from-ashes-to-new-poised-for-dominance-on-day-one/|title=Review: From Ashes To New Poised For Dominance On 'Day One'|last=Storm|first=Brian|website=Rock Feed|access-date=2016-04-12}} and in another positive review by Randy Shatkowski of Anti-Hero Magazine, he says that "The triple-threat of clean, soaring vocals, in your face rap, and guttural roars makes for a unique combination, even if the individual pieces have been used before.". Johnny Guagliardo of KillYourStereo.com says in a mixed review that "Day One seems to follow some (unintended) weird formula, which gives you a good song then a not so good one..." and goes on to say that "They’re recycling everything you heard in 1998, 2003 and then once again in 2007, merely under a new packaging."{{Cite web|url=http://www.killyourstereo.com/reviews/1082060/from-ashes-to-new-day-one|title=From Ashes To New - Day One {{!}}{{!}} Reviews {{!}}{{!}} Killyourstereo.com|website=Killyourstereo.com|language=en-US|access-date=2016-04-12}}{{Music ratings
