Critical reception

Jason Taylor of AllMusic writes "Living Sacrifice's undeniable talent matched with Barry Poynter's vicious production skill has succeeded yet again, conceiving a record that matches the spectacular The Hammering Process at every turn." Steve Rozema of Jesus Freak Hideout reports "Personally, I think that Conceived in Fire is one of Living Sacrifice's best albums yet. They continue to mature while keeping their old sound that Living Sacrifice fans have grown to love. If you're not a fan of hardcore music such as Figure Four, ZAO, Norma Jean, or Demon Hunter, I suggest steering clear of this album- Living Sacrifice's brutal vocals are prominent throughout it. But if you are, this would be a great addition to your CD collection." Greg Pratt of Exclaim! stated "It's about time this bunch gets the high profile they deserve, be it in the metal-core scene, the Ozzfest, or the thrash world."[1] Peter Johnston wrote "They're honest with this, they're heavy, and the album's a good listen."[2] The Metal Crypt stated "Throw away any inhibitions you might hold in regards to listening to a band dubbed as Christian metal because Conceived In Fire will catch you off guard with its sheer aggressiveness and excellent production" Biff Bartholemew stated "Even though I don't like the "core" sound and style, they really mixed it up good and for that I will praise them."
