band's change in sound, The Unspoken King ultimately received mixed reviews from critics with much of the positive remarks being awarded to Flo Mounier's drum performance. On one hand one critic remarked that the album "is an unsettling experience. It is literally like listening to a deathcore band trying and failing to replicate Whisper Supremacy," while Metal Storm claimed that "the album shows flashes of the greatness that is mainly through Flo's [drumming] and the slight progressive touch that was also hinted on in the band's last album." Canadian review site Grayowl Point was very critical of the album, accusing the band of abandoning technicality in favor for a more brutal sound. Reviewer Michael Rhombus went on to say "Believe it or not, the vast majority of metal fans couldn’t care less about brutality and are more concerned with musicianship. Matt McGeachy apparently thinks his audience are fourteen year olds jerking off looking for crunchy guitar noises and has for the most part ditched the abstract part of Cryptopsy." Reviewer Kevin Stewart-Panko of Decibel gave some lukewarm praise in a 2011 retrospective article about the record, stating that the opening track "'Worship Your Demons' is about as good a Cryptopsy album opener as there ever has been. It’s surprisingly catchy without sacrificing any technicality [...] However, when they conclude the typical Cryptopsy of [the song] 'Born Dead' with more singing and an anthemic, almost modern-rock chord workout, it seems more tacked-on than natural or flowing." Chronicles of Chaos gave the album a positive review, praising the vocals and guitar riff performances while mildly shaming the six songs that contain clean vocal sections. They closed their review with "It may not sound like Blasphemy Made Flesh but I'd happily wager that if it did there would be another legion of nay-saying pantywaists complaining about that too."
