gave the album 4 out of 5 and stated: "Three years ago, Lorna Shore didn't even know if they had a future, but with Pain Remains they have sealed their fate as one of the bands to take actual heavy music forward.

"[18] Wall of Sound gave the album a score 8/10 and saying: "Pain Remains extends over an hour to deliver the symphonic masterpiece you expected, with more drama than a Shakespearean poem.
