Critical reception
Soren Baker of Los Angeles Times wrote that Young Bleed "masterfully mixes tales of underclass struggle with stories of spiritual awakening … these soul-stirring, bouncy rhythms are built on thick bass guitar licks, chilling piano chords, airy keyboard patterns and choice background vocals".
