Giving the album an eight out of ten from Cross Rhythms, Peter John Willoughby states, "The lyrics are bound to unsettle, but you have to bear in mind that this is for the death metal scene and will not be suitable for an impressionable young teenager."[3] Jason B, rating the album for Indie Vision Music an eight out of ten, says, "this is metal done right."[4] Awarding the album seven out of ten, in a second review at Indie Vision Music, Josh Murphy describes, "Soul Embraced is capable of so much more than this."[5] Zachary Zinn of Jesus Freak Hideout expresses "Soul Embraced knew what they were doing when they wrote Dead Alive. Luckily they didn't fall into the trap that many metal bands do- every song sounding the same with no originality in the mix. This will be a great addition to any metal-head's collection."[6]
