The response received mixed reviews from critics, fans, and victims of assault alike with the hashtag #outhedley2k18 on Twitter. On February 16, 2018, it was announced that Hedley was dropped by their management team effective immediately; supporting acts Shawn Hook and Neon Dreams quit from the band's Cageless Tour (on which the band remained as the only headliners). Several radio stations and media organizations (including Bell Media Radio, Corus Radio and CBC Music) removed and suspended all of their music due to these allegations.
