Awarding the album four and a half stars for HM Magazine, Collin Simula states, "Death Sentence actually sounds phenomenal; it's expansive, solid, and mixed perfectly."[6] Bradley Zorgdrager, rating the album a three out of ten at Exclaim!, says, "Breakdowns and the heaviness they entail should be a means to an end, not an end in itself; until Those Who Fear realize this, their hackneyed usage will drag the band down."[5] Giving the album two and a half stars from Jesus Freak Hideout, Scott Fryberger describes, "Those Who Fear isn't a bad band, and they certainly show some strengths here and there, but overall, Death Sentence is largely forgettable."[8]
Lee Brown, awarding the album four stars by Indie Vision Music, writes, "the latter portion of the album is simply fantastic".[7] Giving the album three and a half stars for Christian Review Magazine, Christian St. John says, "Those Who Fear deliver the goods on Death Sentence!" Anthony Ibarra, rating the album an 8.5 out of ten from Christ Core, states, "With unrelenting passion and aggression, their music has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. Heavy-hitting drums, low-tuned guitars, and raw vocals pervade their new release, Death Sentence."[3]
