EndEx received a score of 85 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic summarized EndEx as "another collection of angry, jagged diatribes that denounce all that's wrong with the world while providing a soundtrack to an inevitable end. [...] Yet, as with every other one of their albums, this impending doom never sounded so good." Classic Rock described it as "a disorienting yet potently addictive mix, reflective of industrial metal's labyrinthine roots in electronica, new wave and beyond". Anne Erickson of Blabbermouth.net wrote "The tracks on "EndEx" are cleansing, climaxing anthems with Mincolla's hair-raising vocals sounding as bleak and doomy as ever...3TEETH are here to champion industrial metal and make sure the genre stays relevant for years to come."

James Hickie of Kerrang! wrote that "EndEx doesn't win many points for going where no band has gone before" and finding it to be "an album with bite, even if it takes a moment to successfully grip the listener". Mandy Scythe writing for MetalSucks stated, "EndEx plays up its industrial nature. And thanks to their collaboration with co-producer DOOM composer Mick Gordon, the whole experience is a dense, odd, and slightly off-putting effort — in the best way possible." Simon K. of Sputnikmusic called it "a merciful entry that seems to almost fully acknowledge Metawar's main problems. On the whole, EndEx is an excellent entry that sticks close to the band's strongest attributes, albeit, not without its frustrating moments".
