"Tunic make quick work reminding listeners of the shoulders they stand on: Fugazi, Jesus Lizard, Big Black, et cetera. They deftly maneuver into a signature but familiar sound, with Ellis’ overdriven bass and Schellenberg's go-for-broke punk playing style matched to Unger's impassioned drumming. Like the best of their contemporaries in KEN Mode, Whores., and Bummer, everything sounds like it’s teetering on the edge of collapse... As listeners, we trust that what is ostensibly disjointed anarchy will come together and, well, slap. And if 'Quitter' does anything, it slaps."

“No-frills, in-your-face noise-punk that could probably be classified as screamo if David Schellenberg’s vocals were just a little higher-pitched. It’s a winning formula that’s kept Converge in business for a few decades now, and which similarly makes each new single that trickles out from the Tunic camp an event to look forward to.”
–Flood
"Hurtling forward AmRep-style... while Schellenberg punishes his lungs to scream."
–Decibel
"An exhilarating onslaught of noisy punk madness."
–CVLT Nation
"Brutal, uncompromising songs... Quitter also has the primal sound of a group cut loose in the wilderness with only their inventive wits and sheer, screaming force of will to survive."
–Post-Trash
"Short bursts of electric energy... Flashes of noisy chaos and trembling bass lines."
–New Noise
"Canada’s Tunic does noise rock the right way: obtuse, jagged, extremely loud and pummeling in such a way that it bruises to the core. However, there’s another element to their approach... the realism in the lyrics, the real time experiences that color each track, and the scathing vocal delivery from David Schellenberg."
