Specifying in a four star review by HM Magazine, Taylor Rhea Smith recognizes, "With a noticeably richer, more melodic/ less hardcore sound, these are songs you’ll want to listen to over and over"^[2] Graeme Crawford, indicating in an eight out of ten review from Cross Rhythms, replying, "'Return To Life' may not be their best work, but it is also not a step backwards and is an uplifting album."^[1] Signaling in a three star review from Jesus Freak Hideout, Michael Weaver responds, "War of Ages' fifth studio album isn't bad; it's just typical metalcore with very, very little variation."^[4] Lee Brown, writes in a three star review from Indie Vision Music, realizing, "Return to Life doesn't break much new ground musically for fan-favorite War of Ages."^[3]
