The Day of Reckoning has been received well by the media. Here are some statements:

"Four powerhouse tracks, each around the six-minute mark, and each a full-on kick to the face. ‘Valiant Amusement’ and ‘Oblivion’ are horrible bastards. As the music of Australia continues to expand and develop, MrKill may be another band to keep an ear out for in the future." Paul Hutchings - The Razors Edge

"Is the battle over, am I still alive? The composition of the EP, the music that lives up to its name, the stories in the songs that encourage intense reflection are well worth the 10/10." Dasha Krivosheeva - Stalker Magazine

"So Mr.Kill live up to their name, no matter what you think of it, and thunder out a first Death / Thrash bullet that meets international standards on a modern basis. Skillful musicians, high level of aggro ... perfect debut."  8/10 Kerbinator - Rock Castle Franken
