Critical reception
Heartless was met with critical acclaim. The album received an average score of 82/100 from 13 reviews on Metacritic, indicating "universal acclaim". AllMusic writer Thom Jurek praised the album for being a maturation of Pallbearer's sound, saying that it manages to not forsake the band's origins while still breaking new ground. Writing for Exclaim!, Trystan MacDonald said, "Heartless continues to build on the band's reputation as one of the biggest acts in doom metal." In a more lukewarm review, Pitchfork contributor Andy O'Connor wrote, "The deep cauldron of metal, prog, and doom influences have so far been a key to Pallbearer's greatness, but their third record fails to piece it all together. They have run up against their limits." PopMatters writer Tanner Smith was very positive on Heartless, calling it a sign that Pallbearer will go down as one of the best metal acts of the decade.
