Die Without Hope garnered critical acclaim from music critics. Metacritic, a website that scores albums based on a weighted average from selected ratings and reviews, gave a Metascore of an 81 out of 100 indicating "universal acclaim". At Alternative Press, Dan Slessor rated the album four stars out of five, stating that because of their short hiatus the release "seems to have energized them–and then some." In addition, Slessor adds that "With so much competition to garner the deathcore audience, Carnifex make it darn clear they are ready to fight tooth and nail for what is rightfully theirs." Amy Sciarretto of Outburn rated the album an eight out of ten, writing that on the release they band are "letting out plenty of blood soaked roars and musical brutality" on which it "will surely induce maximum headbanging, but it's not for marginal or mainstream metal fans." At Rock Sound, Jack Rogers rated the album a nine out of ten, saying that "it’s clear that Carnifex have firmly reclaimed their rightful place back on the throne" because the release "shows them at their most uncompromising, bleak and arse-splittingly heavy." Bradley Zorgdrager of Exclaim! rated the album a seven out of a ten, and according to him the release comes "With impressive growth, and while still operating within the genre's tight confines, Carnifex put the final nail in deathcore's coffin, giving it an appropriate sendoff."
