Metal Blade Records reissued a remastered version of New American Gospel in 2006 with four bonus tracks.[8] The remastered version contains a note on the inlay that explains that the sound of the album is less polished than their newer work, in part due to time constraints as well as heavy drinking. It has sold over 100,000 copies in the United States.[9]

Revolver magazine called New American Gospel one of the "69 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time".[12] NME said the album "harks back to the days when Slayer ruled the kingdom of metal with speedy riffs and nihilism", and described the sound as "ferocious".[11] Kerrang! said that New American Gospel "is dawn for the most brutally aggressive band since Pantera."^{[citation needed]} CMJ described New American Gospel as "grindcore and death metal for the metalhead kids".[2] Exclaim! compared New American Gospel to bands such as Pantera and Meshuggah, noted its "truly killer snare drum sound", and described the album in general as "a thoroughly satisfying listen and an innovative, real, heavy and scary metal album".[10]

In 2020, it was named one of the 20 best metal albums of 2000 by Metal Hammer magazine.[13]
