Enemies Like This was met with "mixed or average" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 55 based on 16 reviews.[1]
Writing for AllMusic, Rob Theakston wrote: "While there are glimpses of this progression on Enemies Like This, they're all too few and far between to merit this album as anything but stagnant."[2] At Drowned in Sound, Rob Webb gave the album a three out of ten, explaining "Radio 4's latest LP would have been welcomed with open arms by those in search of a quick 'n' dirty punk-funk fix. But now, with the genre oversaturated beyond belief, bands need to produce something special and original to stand out from the crowd. Radio 4 fail to do that."[4]
