Commercial performance

"Unbreakable" peaked at No. 21 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, which continued Sevendust's streak of appearances on the aforementioned chart (dating back to their self-titled debut album).[16] One became the group's first record to miss the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Critical reception

Kerrang! praised the album, concluding that "Yes, it's easy to be cynical about bands like Sevendust who essentially offer different takes on the same thing. But when it's this consistent, this unstoppable, it does make you step back and salute the hard-working progenitors, in this case a quintet that have mastered their art.[14]
