Awarding the album three and a half stars from Alternative Press, Phil Freeman states, "This is an impressive record that proves that metalcore still has plenty to offer when in the hands of genuinely creative musicians."[3] Michael Weaver, giving the album three and a half stars for Jesus Freak Hideout, describes, "It's not the best metalcore album, but it has surprising replay value and should provide plenty of enjoyment for one looking to consume some new metalcore."[4] Rating the album four stars at About.com, Todd Lyons writes, "The intelligent detail in the design of Symbiosis is enthralling from first track to last."[2] Anthony Bryant, awarding the album two stars by HM Magazine, says, "The melodies on the album often seem to sound like an after thought ... The breakdowns came across forced and rushed."[1] Giving the album two and a half stars for The New Review, Luke Amos states, "Symbiosis ultimately ends up sounding bland and shallow."[5]
