Natasha Van Duser of New Noise Magazine wrote, "Conquer Divide nail the unclean verse/clean chorus formula right on the head. It’s a tried and true method, but a method we have all seen a dozen and one times".[7]

New Transcendence Magazine wrote, "Lyrically and musically this album is full of things to love. If you enjoy fast-paced metal with killer female vocalists (such as Kittie) you will definitely find this enjoyable. What’s more is that these gals bring these songs to life in a way you wouldn’t imagine live! Such charisma and energy… go catch them at a show" [8]

Sputnikmusic wrote, "Between solid songwriting and playing to their strengths, the band manages to pull out an engaging debut where a lot of their contemporaries haven’t."[9]
