ReceptionNöjesguiden gave the album a largely negative review, stating "To call them the biggest Swedish debutant hope of the spring is quite an exaggeration, but occasionally they have something that makes you listen more than just out of obligation"[6] Dagens skiva was much more positive and gave the album a rating of 9/10. Reviewer Fredrik Welander called the album an "outstanding debut" and wrote "The album is consistent, but there are some highlights. The opening track 'Tumbling Down' is almost a masterpiece. The aforementioned 'Good Day for Dying' is likewise. 'She's Not Here' is also a standout." But as mentioned, Eskobar feels like a well-rounded album band."[7] 'Til We're Dead was nominated for a Grammis in 2001 in the category "Best Pop/Rock".[8] Charts
