Die Close received a five-star rating from New Noise, which noted, "So much to be said about this album, a complete work of art. This dark audio canvas encapsulates the doom sludge metal loved by so many; highly recommended." [4]
Kerrang! rated it four out of five and commented about the album's "over-arching concept" and "its protagonist a vampire who's outlived humanity and now faces the end of days alone." [1]
Metal Hammer's Perran Helyes assigned the album a rating of eight out of ten and remarked, "A gorgeous, girthy guitar tone counterbalances the album's churning low end with expressive doom leads, as Jordan's Jerry Cantrell-esque voice hits a resplendent gothic tone amid the heavy riffs." [2]
Distorted Sound described it as "A truly captivating debut and leaves in its wake, an unquenchable thirst for more," giving it a rating of eight. [3]
