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 everyday one finds a cello opening a punk track, nor a Gregorian-esque chant closing one out."
