Critical response to the album has been overwhelmingly positive, with reviewers citing this as both a return to greatness and a new side of the band. A review from NME described Dig, Lazarus Dig!!! as a "gothic psycho-sexual apocalypse" and gave it 8/10, claiming that "just when The Bad Seeds seemed content to settle into middle-age as a cabaret gospel showband – albeit an extraordinary one – they’ve bared their teeth again". Steven M. Deusner from Pitchfork Media gave the album 8.4/10, stating "this is how rock musicians are supposed to age". The album currently holds an 87 percent rating on Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim".
