The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. Writing for Rock Sound Chris Hidden gave the album an eight-out-of-ten score, and stated: "This new record finds [Harm's Way] in formidable form, with the likes of 'Amongst The Rust' and 'Cancerous Ways' blending the down-tuned riff attack of nu metal with groove-led thrash and the crushing intensity of hardcore to produce a sound that references everyone from Sepultura to Trapped Under Ice."[6] Writing for SLUG Magazine, Alex Cragun praised the album and said with its, "charging drums and hammering bass, Rust is everything but rust."[7]
