Brian Howe of Pitchfork said, "For now, they're talented musicians welding durable dub onto tired post-hardcore with very mixed results." John Bergstrom of PopMatters commented that "New Heavy isn't just a noble undertaking, it's an ambitious one full of pitfalls. Ron Hart of Billboard wrote, "Dub Trio's attempts to fuse metal guitars and echodelic riddims fall right on the money in the studio." David Downs of East Bay Express called the album "Perfect for boozy barbecues, fast driving, and late-night living-room after-parties."
