Courtney Simpson from JesusWired.com stated, "Veridia has satisfied our heart's desire to hear more of what's pouring from their hearts by at last releasing a full length album... They certainly did not waste it either."[7]

Kayla Hefter from Onestowatch.com wrote, "Their songs combine rock, alternative-pop, and electronic elements, each telling a unique story. The Beast You Feed takes you on an emotional journey that leads you from dark confessional songs to songs of declaration and realization."[8]

Joshua Andre at 365 Days of Inspiring Media, giving the EP a rating of four and a half out of five, wrote, "The Beast You Feed hits hard and delves into many different issues. Even if you aren't a fan of hard rock, there will be something from the release that will inspire and encourage you."[6]
