Critical reception

According to AbsolutePunk's Adam Pfleider, the record "tetters the line of sheer terror and savant variation in the context of the larger scale of contemporary hardcore - however you may define it." David Von Bader of Consequence of Sound wrote: "If the album is a sign of things to come, Deathwish has yet again located and presented the best in artistically relevant heavy music."

Love Is Love/Return to Dust ranked at number 23 on AbsolutePunk's top 30 albums of 2012 list,[4] at number 2 on The A.V. Club's metal column Loud's "best metal, punk, and hardcore of 2012" list[5] and also appeared on The Boston Phoenixs list of top metal albums of 2012.[6]
