Until Death Call My Name received mediocre reviews from music critics. Paul Simmons from AllMusic stated that YoungBoy's "intense, unrelenting music details the harrowing violence he's experienced, as well as inflicted upon others." Just Ivey from HipHopDX noted that "The hard-living youngster’s speedy entry into parenthood — spurred on by fathering multiple children before even being able to legally drink alcohol — is one reason for his search for atonement." This was followed by a full review where he stated, "Until Death Call My Name, much like its creator, has its issues but beams with promise. YoungBoy is extremely polished for his age, which would normally bode well for a burgeoning artist." Sheldon Pearce from Pitchfork began his review by stating that "YoungBoy Never Broke Again, is a meditation on violence, the pangs of conscience, and the ways anticipating an early grave can tint perspective." He notes that "On more than one occasion on the album, YoungBoy characterizes himself as a demon or a devil or a reaper, as if to acknowledge the all-consuming darkness that lives within him." Pearce concludes his review by stating that "At the very least, though, Until Death provides plenty of insight into the perilous environments that condition young thugs. “Villain,” in which he embraces his inner demons and violent nature."

Until Death Call My Name debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 43,000 album-equivalent units, (including 8,000 traditional album sales) in its first week.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/8454698/post-malone-beerbongs-and-bentleys-no-1-billboard-200|title=Post Malone's 'Beerbongs & Bentleys' Breaks Streaming Record, Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart|magazine=Billboard|last=Caulfield|first=Keith|date=May 6, 2018|access-date=May 7, 2018}} This became Youngboy's first US top-ten debut.
