AllMusic awarded LetDownCrush three out of five possible stars.[ 6] Aiding & Abetting gave the album a mixed review as well, calling LetDownCrush "diverse, and while obviously not a live-to-tape session, more immediate-sounding" and praised the songs for being "tight and vicious."[ 8] Alternative Press gave the album a positive review, saying "Hard beats dominate, and beefy guitar plays right into them, maximizing their power to make you wig."[ 7] Black Monday noted the band's artistic progression in combining the song structure of Skin with the electronics of Wisdom but criticized the metal influences.[ 9] Sonic Boom lauded Eric Powell's musical maturation and said "the best musical elements from all of his previous work appear like a trail of footprints down well trod path which ends at the edge of a precipice."[ 10]
