Fred Thomas from Allmusic commented on the album's use of instruments not generally used in metalcore, saying "The album's depth and openness to straying away from typical devices of the genre make Atlas one of the more engaging and thought-provoking metalcore releases amid a sea of the interchangeable riffs and howls of other bands."
