Awarding the album four stars from HM Magazine, Sarah Brehm states, "Fallstar’s Backdraft is metalcore at its heart, but still seamlessly pulls from a myriad of genres—melodic hardcore, punk, rap-rock, electronic—to create an album that’s hard not to like."[3] Mark Sherwood, rating the album a seven out of ten for Cross Rhythms, writes, "overall a strongish album."[1] Giving the album four and a half stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Michael Weaver says, "Fallstar has produced a solid product in Backdraft."[5] Timothy Estabrooks, awarding the album four stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, states, "Backdraft is a phenomenal release from a band that really deserves a lot of recognition right now."[6] Lee Brown, giving the album four stars at Indie Vision Music, writes, "With Backdraft, they have grown musically, vocally, and as song writers."[4] Rating the album a four out of ten from Exclaim!, says, the band "stray from having any significant singles or memorable solos rise to the forefront, although the album as a whole stands against the grain within their particular genre."[2]
