Reception

Stephen Hill of Metal Hammer remarked, "This is an album that is clearly going out of its way to fuck with its listener," rating the album eight out of ten. Distorted Sound gave the album a ten-out-of-ten rating, noting "While it might be a monument to the anxieties and contradictions inherent to being in a critically-acclaimed band in a very niche scene there's nothing remotely close to failure on I Don't Want To See You In Heaven."

Tyler White of Sputnikmusic rated the album 4.5 out of five, noting the album "doesn't need an identity attached; the collection is already emotional and personal on its own." The Guardian assigned a four-star rating to the album and described it as "a framing device that allows vocalist Carson Pace to turn over mid-20s anxieties at a safe remove."

Dork, rating the album four out of five, commented, "I Don't Want To See You In Heaven isn't just a record – it's a fever dream you'll want to return to again and again." Kerrang!, rating the album four out of five and referring to it as a "personal record", remarked, "Despite this abundance of creativity, I Don't Want To See You In Heaven doesn't have its eyes facing outwards at the world around us, unlike its predecessor."
