Loudwire wrote "the group offers one of their finest albums to date by digging deep and expressing themselves in a variety of ways".[15]AllMusic said "Seether gravitate toward the melodic, a shift apparent in both the verses and the riffs, although there's still a tendency to grind out thick neo-grunge guitar workouts both slow ("My Disaster") and fast ("Suffer It All")".[16]Blabbermouth.net wrote "Isolate and Medicate shows Seether trying to roll after more than a decade and a half in the life, but it presents a case of identity crisis, since it's apparent these guys are capable of writing pretty kickass stuff if left to their own devices."[14]
All lyrics are written byShaun Morgan, except where noted; all music is composed by Seether, except where noted.
