CMJ New Music Report wrote in 2002, "Founded in Montreal in 1997, Pulse Ultra is an aggressive, yet melodic rock band that interestingly toys with prog à la Tool, but never loses focus on keeping its songs short and to the point. "Big Brother", the album's first official single, will please anyone who got off on the moody industrial tinges of A Perfect Circle's "Thinking of You", while "Glass Door" is a full-throttle rocker in the style of Ultraspank."

Their debut single, "Big Brother", will appeal to fans of A Perfect Circle's dark industrial sound, while "Glass Door" showcases the band's ability to craft high-energy rockers in the style of Ultraspank."
