In early 2024, the first album was released on Scarlet Records, called Reborn. rated the album 8 out of 10. While the reviewer needed to adjust his expectations of Terence Holler based on the new genre, Reborn did "offer a wealth of fine music" and was "beautiful, soulful work". Metal Hammer reviewed Reborn in both the German and Italian editions. The German reviewer only found it half-decent, scoring it 3.5 out of 7. The songwriting and vocals were decent, but the tempo was boring and the lyrics "borderline moronic". The Italian reviewer was more positive, calling the vocal performance "superb" at times. Still, the track list could have been reduced somewhat. His score was 65 out of 100. DPRP rated the album as a 5. Norway's Scream Magazine opined that the melodious hard rock found on Reborn was so slick that it almost could not be called "hard". Within its genre, the music was decent, but was a little to anonymous and ultimately did not stick with the listener – the rating being 3 out of 6.
In 2025, Holler released their sophomore Next in Line. Scream gave the same score as before; the album was however a little fresher and punchier. The reviewer praised the cover version of Sia's "Chandelier". Rock Hard bestowed the score 7 (out of 10) upon Reborn, followed by 6.5 for Next in Line. Powermetal.de upped the score to 8.5 compared to the debut, araguing that "every song is instantly catchy" and the music was "definitely" not "run-of-the-mill AOR fare". The production was also good, yielding a "crystal-clear sound".
