Critical reception

Punk music review site AbsolutePunk gave the album a rating of 86 out of 100 with Dre Okorley concluding that "Knife Man is synonymous to the gritted teeth and theatrical story lining of a clever manic depressive duo on a wild ride of political blindsiding and folk-rock maturity." Pop Matters gave the album a score of 8/10 stating "The moralizing on Knife Man does get heavy-handed at times, but the homespun simplicity and rage with which it’s delivered actually adds to its power." Also stating it was "one of the most remarkable albums you'll hear all year." Sputnikmusic gave the album 4.5/5.

In popular culture

In the television series Limitless (TV series), the track "Distance" is played during a montage scene in the third episode of the show.
