Stephen Hill of Metal Hammer remarked, "This is an album that is clearly going out of its way to fuck with its listener," rating the album eight out of ten. [6] Distorted Sound gave the album a ten-out-of-ten rating, noting "While it might be a monument to the anxieties and contradictions inherent to being in a critically-acclaimed band in a very niche scene there's nothing remotely close to failure on I Don't Want To See You In Heaven." [2]
Tyler White of Sputnikmusic rated the album 4.5 out of five, noting the album "doesn't need an identity attached; the collection is already emotional and personal on its own." [7] The Guardian assigned a four-star rating to the album and described it as "a framing device that allows vocalist Carson Pace to turn over mid-20s anxieties at a safe remove." [4]
Dork , rating the album four out of five, commented, "I Don't Want To See You In Heaven isn't just a record – it's a fever dream you'll want to return to again and again." [3] Kerrang! , rating the album four out of five and referring to it as a "personal record", remarked, "Despite this abundance of creativity, I Don't Want To See You In Heaven doesn't have its eyes facing outwards at the world around us, unlike its predecessor."
