Critical reception

CMJ New Music Report called the album a "blazing document of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed pogo punk." [4] The Austin Chronicle wrote: "All's Bill Stevenson provided the CD's monstrous production, guitars, drums, and vocals, all leaping out of the speakers. Though the songwriting could use some of that, there's plenty of power here to ensure that Ann Beretta must be a scorching live band." [2]

The Reno Gazette-Journal listed To All Our Fallen Heroes as the eighth best album of 1999, writing that "every number is a sing-along with the screaming guitars right up front." [5]
