Critical reception and legacy

With word of a reissue in 2020, Sit Resist garnered newfound applause. That year, Matt Wallock of American Songwriter praised it as a "superbly scrappy [and] heartfelt" album "that feels more vivid - and determined - with every listen."

Sit Resist

Sit Resist was mentioned in BrooklynVegans 10th anniversary retrospective covering post-hardcore music's "new wave" in 2011. It was recognized alongside various other albums released that year that would shift "from being [the genre's] 'new' wave to being as influential as the bands who inspired them".
