Critical reception
Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone praised the album, stating: "the combination of mournful maturity and club-ready fun they come up with on Till Death Do Us Part suits them just fine". Dave Simpson of The Guardian noted that the album "doesn't break with the formula, but at least it stretches it".
In mixed reviews, Hua Hsu of Blender found "[some] attempts at genre-mashing suffer from some uncharacteristically sluggish Muggs production". Spin magazine reviewer called the album "morbid", adding "the beats are never as heavy as the subject matter". Filmore Mescalito Holmes of Tiny Mix Tapes resumed: "only about a third enjoyable". AllMusic's Andy Kellman concluded: "strictly for the devout fan base".
