About.com writer Dan Marsicano wrote "Metal with a religious concept is not for everybody, and Deliverance doesn’t try to pander to the secular crowd. So, if you don’t mind a little preaching, their music is straight-to-the-gut thrash metal at a time where the genre was getting more expansive with its themes and sound.
About.com writer Dan Marsicano noted that Deliverance's blend of metal with spiritual themes isn't for every fan, and the band doesn't try to soften their message for a broader audience. As a result, their music is raw and uncompromising thrash metal at a time when the genre was becoming more diverse.
