AllMusic	[4]

Aiding & Abetting gave Atonement a positive review, saying "The Final Cut takes the best ideas of the world's finest industrial purveyors, adding a few new ideas just for the hell of it."[5] AllMusic awarded the album two and a half out of five stars and said "while the results fit snugly into 1990s industrial territory, the record is also strongly influenced by the blaxploitation-styled guitar funk of the 1970s."[4] Sonic Boom gave the album a mixed review, saying "musically this EP is all over the place. It ranges from the very traditional guitar, drums, bass of CSC to club remixes almost totally devoid of a guitar" and "If you are either a CSC or Meathead completist you will want to pick up this EP which has tracks that appear nowhere else."
