jan mulder of amazon.co.uk awarded the album five out of five stars, and said the following of the album: "album opener 'sun goes down' is a strong musically layered anthem, making use of the eerie, yet sophisticated hook from katy b to the best possible advantage, and the addition of some lyrically mastered verses to the mix cement this as the album's finest opener. 'watchtower' really lends highly upon the fantastic bass line and sensitivity of ed sheeran's voice, linking up the fantastic hook with a powerful instrumental arrangement. wretch 32 hook up 'off with their heads' is a clustered arrangement of in and out verses from devlin and wretch, and is one of the album's darker highlights. 'rewind' sticks out like a sore thumb on the album, as it's the most mainstream style track devlin has ever written and released. however, despite that, the track is so musically pleasing in its own right that it deserves a place amongst the highest of rap masterpieces, and proves that devlin can take on any musical challenge and win. and to close, 'the cast' is an ideal opener for the next horror slasher to grace our screens, and 'the garden', which picks a classic beat, add some bars overtop, mixes it a little bit at the end, and creates the perfect swansong for another classic british album. devlin keeps it flowing from the start to the end, and the album doesn't disappoint."
