Metal Hammer gave the album a 4/5, saying: "Much like 2019's Daemon and its underrated presecessor Esoteric Warfare , Liturgy Of Death proudly presents another alternative take on the band's pioneering but endlessly malleable output. [5] Kerrang! also gave it 4/5, stating: "Even though you could not call the songs 'lean' – half of the eight clock in at over seven minutes and none under five – there is a sense that not a moment's wasted, everything is exactly where it needs to be."
