Music journalist Ned Raggett wrote a mixed to positive review, describing the album as "dreadfully magnificent in its arrangements of sheer sonic overload, sculpted to be an opera-of-sorts in a black pit" and concluded that "it's a well-done, if off-putting, approach." Noel Gardner of The Quietus compared the music favorably to the bludgeoning sound of Khanate and Swans and said "the amount of ground Gnaw Their Tongues covers, while achieving a certain stubborn musical inertia, is truly impressive."{{cite web |first=Noel |last=Gardner |url=http://thequietus.com/articles/03381-gnaw-their-tongues-all-the-dread-magnificence-of-perversity-album-review |title=Gnaw Their Tongues: All the Dread Magnificence of Perversity |publisher=The Quietus |date=December 8, 2009 |accessdate=December 19, 2015}}
