New Brigade was well received by critics upon release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 85, based on 18 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[10]

New Brigade received Pitchfork's "Best New Music" designation, with critic David Bevan praising it as a "refreshing and extraordinary debut".[4] He continued, "These four have located a punk-rock sweet spot: mixing the black atmosphere of goth, the wild-limbed whoosh of hardcore, and the clangor of post-punk. It's a feat made all the more impressive by one very important intangible: energy."[4] David Malitz of The Washington Post also praised the debut, saying that "In an era of rock-gone-easy-listening and endless reunions, New Brigade is a reminder of how powerful a noisy, new band with something to prove can sound. The kids maintain an unrelenting intensity throughout the album’s 12 songs."[17]

Pitchfork placed the album at number 37 on its list of the top 50 albums of 2011,[18]
