Endless was well received by contemporary music critics upon release. Karina Sevig, writing for New Noise Magazine gave Endless a perfect five-star rating praising the direction and sound of the band, and the production. Summarizing the album, Selvig said the album "is undoubtedly the beginning of a new chapter that they have worked their butts off to finesse. Tilbrook and Williams splitting the vocals on this album is a direction that will pay off if they continue working together like they have done on ENDLESS. But what can I say? Australians will always make the best punk music, and Clowns have set the bar for future releases."[11]
Simon Valentine, writing for Wall of Sound Australia gave the album an 8 out of 10, praising the combination of punk and metal. "With a combo of classic metal moments and raw Aussie punk, Endless is a great album to get into. It will satisfy those already part of the Clowns fanbase, but I think will also succeed in gaining the attention of those ‘traditional’ metal folks who sport the patch-emblazoned denim battle jackets to every local gig."[8]
