The album received mostly positive reviews,but also mixed reviews from several critics. Zach Redrup from Dead Press! rated the album positively calling it:"For someone who is somewhat sceptical about the majority of metalcore that makes its way out of America these days,I would say that this is fairly good. It definitely packs all the better elements of the genre into a neat bundle that even your grandmother can get on with. It's well executed,a bit plain,but generally far from boring. Even if metalcore isn't your game you should give this a go. Who knows? You might be like me and discover a new band that you actually quite like." [3] KillYourStereo gave the album 30 out of 100 and said:"Like Moths To Flames have offered up a completely generic sounding record without a single attempt at originality,which these days,is just simply unacceptable." [4] New Transcendence gave the album a score 4/5 and saying:"The bottom line about this album is:If you thought you liked the band or even KNEW you liked the band when you first heard them,you will LOVE them now. The high-energy,aggressive in your face band they were in the beginning is completely revamped and recharged on this album. It explodes with fury and yet is melodic enough to tempt a good bit of previously unlikely listeners. Definitely give this album a listen! Check out When We Don't Exist out now on Rise Records and prepare your ears for one hell of a treat!" [5]
