  Christopher Smith writes, "Viscera doesn't have quite the same lyrical mastery as Broken Voice, nor the musical epicness of Behold, but it is nonetheless a captivating and thought-provoking mini-album." Dylan O'Connor says, "if you have the patience to sit through longer songs with a slow burn, Viscera is a rewarding listen." David Craft states, "don't let this gem pass you by." Fryberger opines, "Viscera is an EP that feels like a full-length record, as its five songs are full of not only minutes and seconds, but more depth than a lot of full-length records these days."
  
  Mary Nikkel describes, "Full of hard-edged guitar tones, otherworldly vocals and lyrics that are both vividly poetic and intensely human, Viscera is the best yet from My Epic." Nicholas Senior believes, "Viscera is a great example of a good band evolving into a great one...Viscera sees the band merging their pasts quite well, with Yet's post-Thrice-style grunge building upon the graceful beauty of Behold." Chad Brown suggests, "those who remain, sink in, so-to-speak, and allow themselves to be swept up by the tangible emotions, sweeping melodies, and poetic lyricism will be rewarded by one of 2016’s most satisfying and frankly beautiful releases."
