Critical reception

AllMusic wrote: "Inspection 12's core sound may be melodic punk, awash in harmonies, but they add some intriguing variations to the genre. Screaming guitar solos are not that unique, but it's not {{sic|everyday}} one finds a cello opening a punk track, nor a Gregorian-esque chant closing one out."
