The album received positive reviews from critics. KillYourStereo gave the album a positive review and stated: "Roadrunner Records obviously considered Make Them Suffer worthy of promotion and Neverbloom for what it's worth seemingly justifies this support. Maybe for you Game of Throne lovers, this can be your unofficial soundtrack. Make Them Suffer's name has slowly yet gradually made its way into the local metal vocabulary over the last 12 to 18 months. Neverbloom thankfully highlights that this regard is for adequate reasons."[5] Loud scored the album 85 out of 100 and said: "Overall, Neverbloom is a venomous and unrelenting offering of deathcore mixed with the band's various influences. Make Them Suffer may well become one of the biggest bands in their genre to come out of Australia."[1]
