The album received mostly positive reviews, but also mixed reviews from several critics. Depth praised the album saying, "Imminence have created something really powerful with This Is Goodbye. The album is a collection of songs with heart powerfully bared, moving between stadium-strong rock sound and dance beats. They truly have showcased their versatility, just as they set out to do, and have defined a sound of their own from which to continue their evolution as exceptional musicians." [5] Louder Sound gave the album a slightly negative review and stated: "A band this young could yet find a huge audience with their combination of metal and pop. But on this evidence, the formula needs considerable work." [6] New Noise Magazine gave the album 2.5 out of 5 and noted a different direction of "soaring alt-rock" and "highly polished pop rock", as opposed to their metalcore roots, stating that despite the mediocre quality in the songs, "the talent is there for something close to greatness for Imminence, and considering how catchy (though forgettable) This Is Goodbye is at times, let's hope that this isn't goodbye. Instead, let's hope this is the start of a new, compelling chapter for the young Swedish group." [7]

Shoegaze is a subgenre of indie and alternative rock characterized by its ethereal mixture of obscured vocals, guitar distortion and effects, feedback, and overwhelming volume. It emerged in Ireland and the United Kingdom in the late 1980s among neo-psychedelic groups who usually stood motionless during live performances in a detached, non-confrontational state. The name comes from the heavy use of effects pedals, as the performers were often looking down at their pedals during concerts.
