Allmusic reviewed Sot, giving it a 3/5 score. [1]The review stated that the debut album contains "...particularly aggressive and frenetic death metal (lots of blastbeats), either streaked with scattershot symphonic embellishments...or densely integrated orchestrations and synthesizers". [2]The review states that the lead singer does not use his "...accomplished clean singing voice and goes strictly Cookie Monster [death growl] throughout."[3] The review criticized the "...synthetic, rather cheap-sounding" sound of some songs and the "...limited amount of material...[on the album;] just eight songs lasting 36 minutes".[4]
