 Eduardo Rivadavia from AllMusic called "In All Languages" a "near-perfect career synthesis".He praised the inclusion of the tracks of the second disc which, according to him, "become especially relevant for a full appreciation of the band" and are "[a] great place to start discovering Godflesh".His only regret was the fact that it couldn't feature songs from the band's then-forthcoming record, "Hymns" (2001).
