Jeff Treppel spoke positively about the album's opener "Insomnia", naming it "one of the best Megadeth songs of the past 15 years". The song features swirling Middle Eastern strings, crunching guitar line and, according to Treppel, some of Mustaine's most demented lyrics. Treppel further described "Ecstasy" as "grunge ballad" and noted that it sounds like a "reject from ''Cryptic Writings''". He had mixed feelings about "Seven", and observed "The Doctor Is Calling" like a tune that "aims for [[Creepiness|creepy]], but hits [[wikt:cheesy|cheesy]] instead".<ref name="Decibel"/> By contrast, DeGrasso felt that "The Doctor Is Calling" along with "Prince of Darkness" were "definitely heavy songs" with "really dark lyrics on them".<ref name="Metal Rules"/> Ellefson described the tracks "Breadline" and "Wanderlust" as "melodic" with "very modern-sounding" grooves.<ref name="Rockmetal"/> Neil Arnold from ''[[Metal Forces]]'' opined that "Breadline" is "as melodic and commercial as Megadeth gets", while noting that "Wanderlust" and "I'll Be There" are "probably two of the band's most underrated songs".<ref name="Metal Forces"/>

All of the released singles charted on the Billboard's [[Mainstream Rock Chart]], with "Crush 'Em" and "Breadline" breaking into the Top 10.<ref name=AMCharts/> Aside from just being released as a conventional single, "Breadline" was also released as its own EP in Japan featuring several versions of the song, and remixes of other songs from ''Risk'' and Megadeth's back catalog.<ref name=RiskMegadeth/> After leaving Megadeth, Friedman would later cover this song on his solo album ''[[Future Addict]]''.
