Reception
Loudwire noted that "There's no question Butcher Babies are a polarizing band who have some detractors, but Lilith will certainly earn them plenty of new converts,",[1] while Metal Hammer voiced a similar opinion with "Lilith could be the Butcher Babies album that finally wins over the band’s naysayers."[6]
