Emma Garland of Crack commented the album "doesn't reach for new subject matter as much as it reframes the old" and "There's a fresh sharpness to their delivery on New World Depression, too; a weightless calm washes over the whole record that would previously only appear in flashes."

Steve Erickson of Slant Magazine wrote "While $crim and Ruby are now in their 30s, tracks like 'The Thin Grey Line' have a teenage edgelord quality to them: 'Talking about killing got my dick getting hard.' The group's attitude remains similar, with brash boasts mixed with equally extreme evocations of outrageous violence and drug use. Over the course of an entire album, this grows monotonous, just as their relentless, exaggerated misogyny quickly becomes grating." He additionally stated, "Horrorcore isn't known for tasteful lyrics, but even its uglier moments have been a way for artists to express their struggles with addiction and mental health. The fact that, for $uicideboy$, these experiences are so closely tied up with how they treat women makes New World Depression a harder pill to swallow. 'If I got to pick the drugs or a bitch, you know what I'm choosing,' goes one lyric on 'Misery in Waking Hours.'"[1]
