The album has an average score of 81 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 6 professional reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". [8] According to Blabbermouth.net , the album fits within Clutch's long-term development, "never taking any drastic left turns, though progression and noticeable change has been evident over time." [6] MetalSucks largely agreed, stating that "Sunrise on Slaughter Beach is your typical Clutch record," but "there’s always a little more going on under the hood of any Clutch offering." [15] Kerrang! offered a positive review, stating that "13 albums in, Clutch are still uniquely brilliant, master craftsmen of a form at once ingeniously simple and amazingly clever." [12] Metal Injection called the album "grand without pomposity, experimental without an inch of fat and underwritten with grooves so thick you could build a bridge out of them." [14] According to Metal Planet Music, "Clutch have delivered a monster album here. It’s dirty, sludgy, heavy as hell and trippy when it needs to be." [18] Rock 'N' Load wrote in their review, "Sunrise on Slaughter Beach is a grand entrance into newfound Clutch territory not seen before. Whilst still harnessing their iconic sound, the band have managed to widen their range and prove themselves once more pioneers; unafraid of throwing out a curveball." [16]
