rated the album positively calling it: "Essentially, Like Moths To Flames aren't here to bring you music to make you think over how metalcore can be.

"[5] New Noise Magazine awarded the album a score of 2 stars out of 5, stating in their scathing review that "Like Moths To Flames' latest record, The Dying Things We Live For, is just another sonic equivalent of a Jackson Pollock painting.

"[6] A positive review of the album from New Transcendence concluded that "Like Moths to Flames continue to live up to their gargantuan reputation.

The review also described the album as being "free of filler from start to finish, the entire release is a metalcore powerhouse laden with just enough catchiness and ambience to keep the listener breathing throughout its duration.

However, the reviewer was slightly critical of the album's production quality, stating that "while a majority of the album's grooves and riffs still [sound] crisp and clear, much of the percussion and bass throughout the release feels unnecessarily crunchy and rough, giving an abrasive feel that the band may or may not have been going for.

Ultimately, this pitfall passes by largely unnoticed, as it only truly catches the listener's attention during rare portions of the otherwise captivating release.
