The album was well received by critics. Justin M. Norton of About.com called the album "brash, experimental and multi-faceted", and found "Turmoil" to be "so fast it appears on the verge of collapsing on itself". Greg Prato of Allmusic commented that Brutal Truth delivered "good ol' fashioned grindcore", complete with "whiplash-inducing 'zero to 60' tempos, guttural growls, noise guitar [and] airtight drumming". Ryan Ogle of Blabbermouth.net called the album "chaotically creative", and praised "seemingly impossible tempo shifts" and the "grating, yet discernable tone and ear-bleeding servings of feedback". He then compared the album to imagining "a variable speed chainsaw where have the blades have been replaced with sledgehammers and then taking it on a frenzied rampage through a shopping mall."
