Rating the album 2.8 out of five, Ryan P of Sputnikmusic remarked, "There are glimmers of greatness here and there, but there's a bit too much generic death metal this time around." [2]

Kerrang! 's James Hingle described the album as the band's "most putrid, powerful and perversely listenable," giving it a verdict score of three. [8] The album received a 9/10 rating from Blabbermouth 's Dom Lawson referred to the release as "a deep and deeply rewarding listen, with just enough puke-inducing obnoxiousness to keep everything on the right (i.e. wrong) side of sensible." [7]

In a four-star review for New Noise, Randy Radic remarked, "At times slow-mo and black, at other times thrumming with vile waves of filth, Hideous Aftermath sees Sanguisugabogg leveling up." [4] Writing for Metal.de , Oliver Schreyer opined, "Purely musically, the album is the most mature that the band has achieved so far in terms of its brutality, intensity and artistic implementation." [9]
