...If I Die, I Die has been well received by critics.
AllMusic, in their retrospective review of the album, called it "a wonderfully confounding and sometimes campy and often disturbing exercise in unfettered creativity". In 2026,
Uncut ranked
...If I Die, I Die at number 71 in their list of "The 200 Greatest Goth Albums", describing Virgin Prunes as more harrowing than their
art punk peers and writing that the album "smelts the
avant-garde and
avant-pop into a pummelling expression of rage and angst." == Track listing ==
