Reception

Alistar Wickens of NZ Musician wrote that the album is more mature and deep than Savage's previous work, and less hook-rich.[8] Mayhem & Miracles appeared at number twenty-five on the New Zealand Albums Chart dated 9 July 2012, and fell off the chart the next week.[9] It was nominated for Best Urban/Hip Hop Album at the 2012 New Zealand Music Awards, but lost to Home Brew's self-titled debut album.[10]
