A great album."[1] Giving the album four and a half stars at Jesus Freak Hideout, Scott Fryberger writes, "The Burial's latest album is an excellent display of hardcore done right."[3] Brody Barbour, indicating in a four star review by Indie Vision Music, describes, "While Lights and Perfections is not a perfect record it is a thoroughly enjoyable progressive metal record that is easier to listen to than most other counterparts."[2] Awarding the album three and a half stars at The New Review, Jonathan Anderson says, "I fear the replayability of Lights and Perfections is in jeopardy."[5]
