| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic |   [2] |

| Lollipop Magazine | Positive[8] |
Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic wrote "Diecast finally realize what wonders can be accomplished with less technical fireworks and a simply great chorus -- potentially seeing the light that will lead them forward. But, where Internal Revolution is concerned, that path remains at least partly covered in shadow, with flashes of brilliance piercing through."[2] Blabbermouth.net added "the straight truth is that "Internal Revolution" is a good record – it's just so entrenched in the metalcore formula as to seem like a training manual for up-and-coming bands circa 2003 to follow."[9] A reviewer from Ultimate Guitar wrote "this album is not as heavy and hard as the last album, but it entailed a more progressive feel with more harmonics, riviting bassline complemented with a great voice and captivating lyrics." As for the lyrics he added " The lyrical content of majority of the songs were words I could relate to."[10] Finally German reviewers Ox-Fanzine claimed "The arrangements are no longer structured towards the next mosh part, much more you always have it on the next pop melody to bring out the newly discovered delicate voice of the singer to the fore."[11]
