At Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Time Will Die and Love Will Bury It has received an average score of 92, based on 7 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim"; it is currently the highest-scoring album of 2018 on the site.[14][17]

Kerrang! gave the album a perfect score, citing it as "a classic" and "a hugely satisfying listen, with the longer songs in particular allowing the band free rein to indulge every experimental urge."[9] NME was similar in its assessment, saying "whereas Grievances was so bleak you could feel the dull ache of its bruises, Time Will Die’s increased use of light and space ensures it stands alone in an arsenal of already exceptional records."[8]

The Line of Best Fit gave the album a 7.5/10, concluding that "Rolo Tomassi are a band still looking to push themselves further forward creatively, while remaining just as focused on retaining the dramatic core of their sound that has long set them apart from any contemporaries."[11]
