"Korn have endured for a reason. Even for those incredulous of nu-metal both as it emerged and during the recent resurgence, there is an undeniable creativity to the group."
"'Reward the Scars' keeps that up, marrying murky avant-gardeisms with an emotionally direct chorus. The band may have been typified by a kind of emotional over-the-top lyricism, but this one shows a sophistication that people who've checked out of the acclaimed band may be surprised by."
"'Reward the Scars' also showcases why the band has gotten so much love from the world of underground heavy music lately, with everyone from progressive bands to hardcore groups to death metal and industrial performers openly citing the often quite forward-thinking troupe."

The band has maintained a creative edge since their 2007 untitled album, further developing their sound during their recent artistic renaissance. This single reflects a sophistication that may surprise those who have distanced themselves from the band.
