The album received an average score of 85/100 from 10 reviews on Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim".[1] Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote, "Given [the album's] relative brevity, it's among the few albums in their catalog that doesn't leave the listener exhausted (not a bad thing by any means), but wanting more."[9] The A.V. Club writer, J.J. Anselmi, said, "Fires Within Fires is yet another invaluable contribution from this legendary band."[10]
