Reception

Andrew Hickey from Beat Magazine said "This Was Tomorrow finds Melbourne rising star Seth Sentry looking at society and his place in it. The relatable rapper takes us through a typical day, introducing the listener to many of the album's running themes on opening cut 'Campfire'. On album stand-out 'My Scene' he tells outlandish yet believable tales about trying to fit into social groups." Hickey concluded saying "This Was Tomorrow is a triumph and easily one of Australia's finest hip hop releases in 2012."[5]

Chris Yates from The Music said "This Was Tomorrow is a landmark Australian hip hop record."[6]
