Victim of the New Disease has received critical acclaim from music critics, with praise being directed at a perceived return to creative and musical form as well as the return to All That Remains' heavier metalcore sound, which had largely been absent in recent material from the band in favor of a more melodic heavy metal and hard rock sound.^{[citation needed]}

In a positive review for Exclaim! magazine, author Max Morin wrote "To say All That Remains are returning to their roots would oversimplify things. They have returned, but much smarter and more experienced — it's given their old formula new life. Victim of the New Disease has jerked All That Remains out of a decade long lull" and gave the album nine out of ten stars.[10]
