The album received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Metal Storm gave the album a 5.8/10, saying "It's not a bad album, it's just entirely unremarkable, which is a crying shame for a band that managed to really distinguish themselves in what can be quite a repetitive sub-genre".[6] Metal Injection gave the album a negative review, critiquing the album's production, the simplistic songwriting and song structure compared to past releases, and Palermo's vocal performance, writing "Undying Light isn’t a mixed bag or a slight misstep. It is a genuinely bad record that even diehard fans will have difficulty sitting through. Of course, this is hardly irredeemable. Fallujah has talented musicians and the band has produced great music before. But if Undying Light is a sign of things to come, it’s a fairly dire one.[7]

Design and artwork
gollark: I generally work with languages high-level enough that poking at RAM would be unhelpful, and projects simple enough that I can just `print` a lot.
gollark: You *can* learn programming just with free resources and open-source stuff, but this does seem useful for actually hosting your projects.
gollark: I mean, "worth" is probably wrong if they just give it to people for free, but the cloud hosting credits do seem nice.
gollark: Ah, a true programmer.
gollark: What does that have in it?
