Option commended and Obsess said that Insight 23 "represent the new school of electro-rock"[6] Sonic Boom agreed with the comparison for the "Insight 23 has definitely gone out of its way to create a sound almost totally devoid on influences or comparisons" and credited them with being "one of the seemingly few bands who can mix guitars and electronics together and not end up with the guitars washing out all the technology used to create the music."[7]
