Reception

Fabryka awarded the FullBlackHabit four out of four stars and said "Eric Powell reconned up with his music fascinations and ideas, to find a golden mean what finally led him to create an album with a variety of songs, modern and fresh but still recognized as a 16volt's venture."^[6] Kristofer Upjohn of Raves gave the album four out of five stars and said "the textures and rhythms are catchy and the melodic input is finely performed as well."^[7]
