Critical reception

In a review at ''SputnikMusic'', the site wrote: "Following the vein of ''Means to End'', ''Reborn in Defiance'' is a heavy, chunky record, but nothing new for Biohazard. A very solid album, with some enjoyable groove orientated riffs, displaying the essence of their music since their early beginnings as one of the progenitors of rap metal, or nu-metal, ''Reborn in Defiance'' has some variance, with tracks such as Killing Me standing out with its clean intro. However, there are a lot of very stagnant guitar parts, mainly the choruses, and some of the verses."
