[2] In an official press release, it was claimed that the album "delves further into the enigmatic universe of Sleep Token, pushing boundaries and blurring genres, whilst retaining their signature sound".

In a 10/10 review written for Distorted Sound magazine, Daniel Fella described the album as a "masterpiece", claiming that "It's unforgettable, unique and damn close to flawless ... music doesn't get much better than this".

He praised the album for presenting "compelling songs that we can relate to", highlighting "Alkaline", "Hypnosis" and "The Love You Want"; however, he added that much of the record "doesn't maintain [the same] level of inspiration", claiming that "failing to recognise when to wrap up a track still proves to be Sleep Token's Achilles' heel".

[17] Similarly, Harrison Smith for Gigwise complained that "the often lack of distinction between tracks ... detracts from the album's genre-blurring flow", although his review was generally positive about the range of lyrical themes and musical styles adopted.

[16] In contrast, Wepea Buntugu of The Line of Best Fit suggested that "flows smoothly from one song to the next, with just enough variety of melodies to stave off monotony while still maintaining a very distinct sound throughout".

[25] In a feature published shortly after the release of the first four singles from Take Me Back to Eden in January 2023, Metal Hammer included "Alkaline", "The Love You Want", "Fall for Me" and "Hypnosis" in its list of Sleep Token's best songs.
