Buckley said the album was "a chronological order of riffs that we wrote". Chris Gramlich of Exclaim! said the album was "conceptually darker" than The Burial Plot Bidding War, and said it was "lyrically and artistically, laced with black humour, technical excursions, metallic breaks, [and] intertwining and eclectic guitar work". After being planned for release in July, Buckley said it was "really dark, [and] really sarcastic".

The AllMusic reviewer Jason D. Taylor called the album "a cathartic, chaotic release", and continued, "The listener will go from being stunned to outright jaw dropping incredulity." He said that the record was very comparable to Drowningman in the regard that both bands are able to "flawlessly twist your mind into a pretzel and then straighten it back out with the occasional melody". Taylor concluded his review by saying that the "reluctance to remove the album from your stereo is surely proof enough that this is one of the most potentially amazing bands inhabiting the metalcore scene". The album was reissued on vinyl as part of a box set along with Hot Damn! (2003) and Gutter Phenomenon (2005). The box set was released on December 12, 2006, by the independent label Suburban Home Records. In 2010, Buckley said he re listened to the album and said, "It's hard to play, I don't know how I even wrote some of that stuff." In 2013, he said the album was "just 50 riffs and none of them repeat and it's almost like, what were we thinking?". Jim Smallman of TeamRock ranked Last Night in Town as his least favorite Every Time I Die album, calling it "A fine debut, but the band were to head on to better things."
