Damned was described by Natalie Zed in About.com as hardcore with a "distinctly metallic flavour", which provided "plenty of satisfying breakdowns and unrelenting aggression paired with beefy, muscular riffs swing between dirty punk, classic hardcore and the odd bit of death metal." Pitchfork's Kim Kelly praised the album as "fast and deadly" and "another worthy addition to their rock-solid catalog". Both Zed and Kelly drew attention to the melodic nature of the band's more experimental track, "Ride the Steel".
