Life Left to Go received highly favorable reviews from critics. Tom Spinelli of Melodic.net, who gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, declared that "if you are looking for the modern rock album of the year, this may be a top contender in your collection",[5] as "SatefySuit releases their masterful, epic debut Life Left To Go with enormous melodic power".[5] Alternative Addiction described Life Left to Go as "easily the best debut album so far in 2008",[4] praising both frontman Doug Brown as "an impressive vocalist...[who] absolutely gets what it takes to make a great song--good melody and good lyrics",[4] and Dave Garofolo, whose guitar work he called "original and unorthodox...[He is] what makes SafetySuit unique".[4] Sputnikmusic notes that "it’s hard to point out the best songs because nothing in here is disappointing",[6] and that SafetySuit "really seem[s] to have a bright future in the music industry".[6] However, they do criticize the band for the narrow topical range in their lyrics, saying that "my only problem resides on the lyrical part, they’re all about love songs and relationship issues."[6]
