Thanks to all the fans for their warm welcome back and their undying love for Killswitch Engage.'^[4]

Gregory Heaney from Allmusic gave the album three out of five stars saying 'In the time since Leach left the fold, Killswitch Engage have matured into a tighter, more refined band than they were for Alive or Just Breathing, and while Leach has certainly grown as a singer in the intervening years, the album doesn't quite recapture that sense of catharsis the band possessed back then.'^[16] Dean Brown from PopMatters gave the album a solid eight out of ten stars saying 'Disarm the Descent is the bountiful fruit of the Killswitch’s rejuvenation, and proof that, in life and metal, there are second chances.'^[20]
