Critical reception
Bram E. Gieben of The Skinny commented that "Vessel's second full-length album once again showcases his masterful sound design, but where Order of Noise was guided by dub and techno, this feels like new ground being broken." Steve Kerr of XLR8R stated, "One hopes that he hasn't entirely abandoned his earlier, more atmospheric sound, but as career turning points and transformations go, this album is an accomplished one." Heather Phares of AllMusic described Punish, Honey as "an album full of aggressively stripped, industrial-tinged pieces that are equally brooding and kinetic."
