Critical reception

Carlos Zelaya of ''Dead Press!'' scored the album 4/10 stating: "For their fifth album, ''Disguise'', you pretty much know what to expect at this point, with the album being rife with the band's signature goth and industrial-tinged metal, with some clear toe-dipping into nu-metal here and there too." ''Distorted Sound'' scored the album 7 out of 10 and said: "In all, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE have sculpted an album that will surely continue to contribute to their domination, but it does feel as though it achieves this at the expense of innovation and more forward thinking ideology. They are a band that have achieved a lot despite their hardship, and their well earned confidence shines through ''Disguise'' at every opportunity." Adam Rice of ''Wall of Sound'' rated the album 3.5 out of 5 saying, "Motionless In White have done it again, although not all songs are great there is a healthy mix of different styles and genres which would tailor to anyone's music tastes. With not one song sounding similar to another, its a bag of all sorts!" '' Loudwire'' named it one of the 50 best metal albums of 2019.
