AllMusic[2]

AllMusic critic Vincent Jeffries wrote: "The thick instrumentation and fat grooves deliver on every promise made during Orange 9mm's famously powerful live performances, but the adherence to of-the-moment metal sonics prevent Tragic from transcending its time." Jefferies further added that the album "remains a solid offering for fans of a small but important '90s metal movement."[2]
