Allmusic critic K. Ross Hoffman wrote the album "maintains an impressively high level of quality and and emotional resonance throughout", adding that "just about everything" on the album is "inarguably effective, and starkly beautiful in its simplicity". Sean Adams of Drowned in Sound opined that, compared to the Drive soundtrack, Kill for Love is "oh-so much more than that, both in terms of scale and ambition, as well as how it plays with time and rich textures.

This is a modern masterpiece, it's as simple as that." Andrew Graham of The Phoenix stated that "Ruth Radelet's detached, lethargic vocals ache with implicit longing [...] Adam Miller's guitars still echo—without imitating—Joy Division and New Order, and Johnny Jewel's trademark retro-futuro-electro production sound underpins this 16-track set with a dreamy, after-the-afterparty atmosphere that feels like it could go on all night long."
