He concluded, "Could Glutton For Punishment have been more strategically curated? Perhaps, but this is an ambitious act. And sometimes you need to be commended for what you attempt as much as for what you achieve".[12] Glutton for Punishment also received positive reviews from Under the Radar,[8] DIY,[5] Clash,[4] and MusicOMH.[3][6][7]
