The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood received critical acclaim. Graham Ray of Distorted Sound called the album "heavier, catchier and more cohesive than [the original] The Silver Scream." Hysteria Magazine described the album as "dramatic, thrilling and fast-paced." In a positive review, Jake Richardson of Kerrang! stated "[The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood is] a unique, thrilling and unpredictable record, The Silver Scream 2 has all the makings of an instant horror hit."
To sum up her thoughts on the album, Ali Cooper of Metal Hammer stated "Perfectly capturing the vast soundscapes, emotions and fake blood flowing through each movie stamped with their own metalcore trademark, Ice Nine Kills have crafted a flawless effort so deeply invested in its subject matter that it demands replay after replay… if you dare." Comparing the album to its predecessor, Ashley Gallagher of New Noise Magazine stated "The Silver Scream felt like a collection of tracks while Welcome to Horrorwood was a complete body of work, keeping the listener wanting more after each and every song." Simon Crampton of Rock Sins considered the album to be "a huge step up from their previous work."
Melinda Welsh of The Spill Magazine considered the album to be the "hard core exception to the general rule that “sequels suck”." Dan Harrison of Upset Magazine called the album "a pulpy delight." Comparing the album to movie sequels, Carys Hurcom of Wall of Sound stated "...to reference the film class scene in "Scream 2", it’s not "The Godfather Part II" (universally acknowledged as a superior film to the original), but more of a Terminator 2...in that both are great for different reasons, and will entirely depend on whether you like more understated, subtle texts or more fast, “action-packed” and in your face texts. Whatever your preference, The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood is still a hell of an experience.
