AllMusic[3]

Aiding & Abetting said "perhaps the band's most important attribute is its ability to combine the catchy with the intense without creating wanky anthems" praised them for being "capable of shifting moods as well as anyone in the game."[4] Sonic Boom lauded the band for continuing in the style of Mainline E.P. while saying "there are still plenty of tracks that deliver their classic sounds of anger and spite and still tremendous amounts of energy in their songs."[5] CMJ listed Omnipresent as one of the magazine's top choices for the month of May.[6]
