| AllMusic |   |
Tom Schulte of AllMusic gave Return to Grimpen Ward three out of five stars and called it "heavy, ominous beat music akin to Nine Inch Nails with a reach back to New Order" and "This gives their brand of industrial music a tough rock consciousness, especially in the drum programming." [3] Industrial Reviews gave the album a negative review of two out of five stars and accused the remixes of not improving on and at times worsening the original compositions. [4]
All tracks are written by Dwayne Dassing and Gary Dassing.
