Critical response was mostly warm, highlighting the fact that the band was working towards defining its own sound, as opposed to just Rage Against the Machine fronted by Chris Cornell. Some fans prefer it to the hard rock previous release, while others were disappointed in its softer approach. The album was chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100 Editor's Picks of 2005. "Doesn't Remind Me" was nominated for "Best Hard Rock Performance" at the 48th annual Grammy Awards.
