Reception

edit

Larry Dean Miles of Black Monday recommended Cyber-Tec to techno listeners interested in dance but noted "all the songs sound alike, it gets very repetitive."[10] Sonic Boom said "I think that while there are only really four distinct songs on this EP, they all do an excellent job of providing the listener with a wide inflection of vocals from slower lyrical style used in 'Human' to the more traditional EBM speed employed on "Cauterize"."[11][12][13][14][15][16]
