"[13] Steve Lampiris of Lambgoat stated of the album, "Without a weak track, Through Storms Ahead is another strong entry in As I Lay Dying’s catalog.
"[14] SonicAbuse gave a mixed review, stating that "The band’s absolute insistence on metalcore by the numbers makes this 40-odd minute album feel almost twice as long, and you get to the point that in every song you are just praying that it won’t take the easy road yet again.
It’s a massive blow of energy filled with many melodic hooks, excellent screams and grunts contrasting with sung tunes, and a fine and technical work on the instrumental parts, with melodies and aggressiveness being offered in the right doses, and what lovely choruses filled with hooks in the middle of strong breakdowns—Through Storms Ahead is a statement that, even after many trials, As I Lay Dying is still here, still relevant, and still excellent.
