Critical reception



In their review for the album, Mark Rice of Jesus Freak Hideout said, "Personally, the biggest flaw I could find with Sheep is just how much songs like "Dead Man's Switch," "Imaginary Me," "Freebooter," and a few others reminded me of Knives to the Future, instead of being able to totally stand on its own. That's a relatively minor quibble, however. And there are certainly moments (most notably the title track, which to me was the album's biggest highlight) where we do get to hear them expand and experiment with their sound—this is certainly a project any Project 86 fan would want, and for those who aren't already fans, this 20th Anniversary celebration will make it easy to become one." HM Magazine said of the album, "Despite two decades releasing rock music, Project 86 hasn’t grown complacent, releasing albums for the sake of releasing albums. The band still has a purpose behind their art, and Sheep Among Wolves proves to be a heavier, deeper, and significant release." Indie Vision also praised the album, stating that "Sheep Among Wolves is a powerful album with poignant imagery that seeps into your soul through beautifully written lyrics which require multiple listens to fully grasp, yet the songs are sung in such a way that even a casual listen will bring the blood to your veins." V13.net was less enthusiastic, stating that "this latest release very much follows in the footsteps of their 2014 offering Knives to the Future. While this may be a good thing for long-time fans of the band, it’s doubtful there will be anything for anyone here from outside of the hard rock community. The hard-rock-offset-by-lighter melodies style of songwriting that has permeated the band’s discography is still in full effect, producing an album that doesn’t go past heated and wander into full on blazing intensity—However, if this level of engagement is what you are after, then this may be the album for you.". Sputnikmusic highly favored the album, calling it a "thoroughly-satisfying album from front-to-back. With excellent musicianship across the board from these extremely-talented gentlemen, Sheep Among Wolves stands out as one of the band's greatest accomplishments. A magnificently underappreciated record."
