| AllMusic |   [3] |
Tom Schulte of AllMusic gave Return to Grimpen Ward three out of five stars and called it "heavy, ominous beat music akin to Nine Inch Nails with a reach back to New Order" and "This gives their brand of industrial music a tough rock consciousness, especially in the drum programming."[3] Industrial Reviews gave the album a negative review of two out of five stars and accused the remixes of not improving on and at times worsening the original compositions.[4]
