Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the last album by the original lineup of Defiance before an extended hiatus, Nothing Lasts Forever has a dispirited, defeatist tone—even more so than usual for this brand of metal-tinged post-hardcore punk—in both the album title and songs like the sneering 'Kill the Bastards' and the churning thrash of 'It's Never Gonna Change'."
