At Metacritic, the album received an average score of 85, based on four reviews. Dead Press! reviewer Gary Cassidy felt that Avalanche United was a perfect title for the album: "this band seem tighter than ever, the backing vocals are immaculate, the drum beats set the rhythm perfectly, [and] the guitar riffs are just beautifully melodic and catchy". The album's tempo was "very controlled, but the energy and emotion can’t be questioned ... this is nostalgic and meaningful punk." AbsolutePunk staff member Drew Beringer wrote that the songs never take the "foot off the pedal", and the record contains "a heaviness that wasn't as prevalent" on their debut album. Punknews.org's Rich Cocksedge liked Caruana's lyricism, calling it "insightful and interesting". He added that with a "sound that has got a strong basis in punk but with massive doses of melody," the album came across as "quite an impressive ... [and] really pleasing surprise to boot".
