Critical reception

Invicta received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Jason Lymangrover of AllMusic gave the album 3.5/5 stars, said "the songs are so sonically powerful that they seem, well, epic. As it stands, Invicta is Hit the Lights' ultimate bid for mainstream acceptance and also the quintet's strongest album to date". Andy Ritchie of Rock Sound gave the album a 6/10 rating, said "the album marks the return of one of the most understated but best-loved pop-punk behemoths of the last five years, although it sadly doesn’t quite deliver on its promise".
