Jesus Freak Hideout wrote: "Overall, Fractured Paradise is a worthy followup to one of 2022's standout albums [Death by Admiration]. While it may be less likely to convert new fans or truly change the game for the veteran band, current fans of Seventh Day Slumber and the modern rock/metal scene as a whole will likely find more than enough to like here. There are enough signs of maturation and musical evolution even in just two years to show that almost three decades into their career, Seventh Day Slumber still have a ton of gas in their tank."^[11]

New Release Today praised the album, stating, "The honesty and seriousness of the lyrics in Fractured Paradise make this album extraordinarily relevant and timely for today's world! Joe Rojas's honesty, integrity, and undeniable street cred are why I believe this one will rise to the top and fast. I love Fractured Paradise, and you will, too."^[12]
