Bow Down to the Exit Sign received positive reviews from the majority of critics.^[2] AllMusic's John Bush saw it as a "vast improvement" over Holmes' previous studio record, Let's Get Killed, concluding, "while his previous work came off as soundtrack material in desperate search of a film to accompany it, Bow Down to the Exit Sign is very much a fully formed record."
