Genesi[s] has been critically panned, with much of the only praise being attributed to clean vocalist Hance Alligood. Steve Alcala of Mind Equals Blown gave the album a 2/10, heavily criticizing the album's instrumentals, specifically the guitars of which he stated, "Playing the same note over and over is not making music. It's making a tone. The only guitar work featured on the album is open note chugging, djent rhythms that require a quick tap of the third, fifth, seventh, or twelfth fret that jumps right back to its root open note. Oh, and power chords. Lots and lots of power chords. Spice it up? Make it interesting? Please? There is absolutely no branching out on Genesi[s]."
