it 4/10 and described it as "a 50-minute cringefest that rings hollow."

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Tickets to My Downfall received an average score of 72 based on 6 reviews indicating "generally favorable reviews". Wall of Sound praised the album, citing Barker's drumming, production and concluding that "What the album lacks in lyrical substance though, is made up for with the abundance of infectious pop melodies and catchy rock choruses." Kerrang! was similarly positive, praising the album for being "...a slick sideways hop from what you might be expecting from Machine Gun Kelly, it's done excellently. It celebrates everything great about pop-punk without feeling cookie-cutter or third division", and disagreed with Wall of Sounds assessment of the lyrics, praising them for its "open-diary honesty that fills the whole album, confessional and unflinching". In a much more critical review, Sputnikmusic claimed the album was a "completely egregious copy-paste of Blink 182’s glory day sound" and the "pop-punk equivalent to Greta Van Fleet's soulless imitations of Led Zeppelin".
