The album received mostly positive reviews, but also mixed reviews from several critics. Depth praised the album saying, "Imminence have created something really powerful with This Is Goodbye. The album is a collection of songs with heart powerfully bared, moving between stadium-strong rock sound and dance beats. They truly have showcased their versatility, just as they set out to do, and have defined a sound of their own from which to continue their evolution as exceptional musicians."[5] Louder Sound gave the album a slightly negative review and stated: "A band this young could yet find a huge audience with their combination of metal and pop. But on this evidence, the formula needs considerable work."[6] New Noise Magazine gave the album 2.5 out of 5 and stated: "Yet, the talent is there for something close to greatness for Imminence, and considering how catchy (though forgettable) This Is Goodbye is at times, let's hope that this isn't goodbye. Instead, let's hope this is the start of a new, compelling chapter for the young Swedish group."[7]
