According to AbsolutePunk's Adam Pfleider, the record "tetters the line of sheer terror and savant variation in the context of the larger scale of contemporary hardcore - however you may define it." [1] David Von Bader of Consequence of Sound wrote: "If the album is a sign of things to come, Deathwish has yet again located and presented the best in artistically relevant heavy music." [7]

Love Is Love/Return to Dust ranked at number 23 on AbsolutePunk's top 30 albums of 2012 list, [8] at number 2 on The A.V. Club 's metal column Loud's "best metal, punk, and hardcore of 2012" list [9] and also appeared on The Boston Phoenix's list of top metal albums of 2012. [10]
