Critical reception
Juggernaut: Omega received critical acclaim. In a review for
Exclaim! , Calum Slingerland wrote that Omega is very much the "yin to Alpha's yang," highlighted by "the jerky chugging of "The Bad Thing," the thrashy "Graveless" and the slow-burning "Hell Below," which comes complete with a tasteful jazz-fusion outro."
[4] AntiHero Magazine called the Juggernaut albums as a whole Periphery's "
magnum opus ", specifically praising the vocals.
