Critical reception

CMJ New Music Report wrote: "One part raw metal and one part industrial, the digitized Peace Minus One is sharper than a bag full of razor blades." The Columbus Dispatch called singer James Baker "unfailingly guttural," and dismissed the album as "a new collection of disenchantment." The Seattle Times called the album "brutal, raw, savage—yet also oddly 'sensitive,' albeit in a hard-boiled way," writing that "Baker's creepy voice is perfect for growling scary prophecies over guest musician Jeff Loomis' speed-metal guitar."
