Till Death Do Us Part was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 62 based on twelve reviews.[1]

Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone praised the album, stating: "the combination of mournful maturity and club-ready fun they come up with on Till Death Do Us Part suits them just fine".[7] Dave Simpson of The Guardian noted that the album "doesn't break with the formula, but at least it stretches it".[9]

In mixed reviews, Hua Hsu of Blender found "[some] attempts at genre-mashing suffer from some uncharacteristically sluggish Muggs production".[3] Spin magazine reviewer called the album "morbid", adding "the beats are never as heavy as the subject matter".[8] Filmore Mescalito Holmes of Tiny Mix Tapes resumed: "only about a third enjoyable".[11] AllMusic's Andy Kellman concluded: "strictly for the devout fan base".[2]
