Critical reception
Alex Henderson of Allmusic praised the band's musicianship, saying that "in fact, is a crucial part of the equation on Ob (Servant)" and "technical is definitely the operative word where Psycroptic are concerned".[1] However, he criticised the release, stating: "the material isn't remarkable, but it is noteworthy" and defined the album with: "although not stunning, certainly doesn't suffer from a lack of musicianship or technical prowess".[1]
