New Brigade was well received by critics upon release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 85, based on 18 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".

New Brigade received Pitchfork{{'}}s "Best New Music" designation, with critic David Bevan praising it as a "refreshing and extraordinary debut". He continued, "These four have located a punk-rock sweet spot: mixing the black atmosphere of goth, the wild-limbed whoosh of hardcore, and the clangor of post-punk. It's a feat made all the more impressive by one very important intangible: energy." David Malitz of The Washington Post also praised the debut, saying that "In an era of rock-gone-easy-listening and endless reunions, New Brigade is a reminder of how powerful a noisy, new band with something to prove can sound. The kids maintain an unrelenting intensity throughout the album’s 12 songs."{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/click-track/post/quick-spins-ty-segall-iceage-justin-moore/2011/06/21/AGxtOTeH_blog.html |title=Quick spins: Ty Segall, Iceage, Justin Moore |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=21 June 2011 |access-date=8 July 2011 |last1=Malitz |first1=David |last2=Friskics-Warren |first2=Bill}}
