Awarding the album three stars from HM Magazine, Rob Shameless states, "Costs is one of those records every nu hardcore kid is going to jock."[3] Graeme Crawford, rating the album an eight out of ten for Cross Rhythms, writes, "In the future Gideon may look to give a little more variety in the song structures, however, their uncompromising stance is what gives them the impact that they have."[2] Giving the album four stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Timothy Estabrooks describes, "It's a blessedly simple, fists-in-the-air, headbang-worthy hardcore album that will definitely satisfy any fans of the genre. And there's no need to be pretentious about it."[5]

Luke Amos, awarding the album four and a half stars by The New Review, writes, "Costs is a great addition to anyone's collection but especially those that enjoy a good musical thrashing along with some positive lyrics."[7] Giving the album four stars from Indie Vision Music, BMer states, "The tightness of the music matched with the well-placed intense vocals really mesh well, adding with the occasional gang-vocals or clean vocals keeps Costs from being just another hardcore album."[4] Sebastian Fonseca, rating the album a 6.5 out of ten for Mind Equals Blown, says, "Costs is an album that should not be disregarded by fans of the genre."[6]
