Paul Simmons from AllMusic stated that YoungBoy's "intense, unrelenting music details the harrowing violence he's experienced, as well as inflicted upon others."

Just Ivey from HipHopDX noted that "The hard-living youngster’s speedy entry into parenthood — spurred on by fathering multiple children before even being able to legally drink alcohol — is one reason for his search for atonement."

Sheldon Pearce from Pitchfork began his review by stating that "YoungBoy Never Broke Again, is a meditation on violence, the pangs of conscience, and the ways anticipating an early grave can tint perspective."

Pearce concludes his review by stating that "At the very least, though, Until Death provides plenty of insight into the perilous environments that condition young thugs.

Until Death Call My Name debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 43,000 album-equivalent units, (including 8,000 traditional album sales) in its first week.
