The album received mostly positive reviews. *Distorted Sound* stated: "Heavily inspired by the history and mythology of [Ancient Egypt](/source/Ancient_Egypt), 'Chapter III - Downfall' is an album where every track is a potential single in waiting, it's a lean, efficient and finely-tuned machine. It's three-quarters-of-an-hour packed with pop choruses, bouncy rhythms and catchy melodies, with just the right amount of grit under the fingernails."[2]
