The compilation includes previously released singles by the band as well as the new tracks "001 [Tame the War, Feed the Fire]" and "A Gun in Every Home"; it has received positive reviews from critics.
In DIY, Joe Goggins gave Life Is Infinite 3.5 out of 5 stars, calling it "a bit of a mixed bag" that "demonstrated plenty of promise". This was Album of the Week at Paste, where critic Matt Mitchell scored it an 8.2 out of 10, characterizing the music as "the sonics never teeter on messy or chaotic, it takes massive chemistry to make rock music this sensational". The publication also chose the single “Chance of a Lifetime“ / “I Will Try My Best“ as some of the best music of October 2023. At Under the Radar, Caleb Campbell rated this compilation an 8 out of 10, encouraging listeners "if you dig into the collection, you’ll find some of this year’s most joyous, inspired, and life-affirming music, the kind that will make you feel like the main character of your own cinematic drama" and this was rated the 84th best album of 2023. Prior to the album release, three of the singles made listings for best songs of the week from the magazine: "Choose a Life" in September 2022, "Runnin'" in February 2023, and "Be Here Now" in August 2023.
