Reviews for Confuse & Conquer were largely positive. Verbicide said "Confuse & Conquer easily stands right next to some of their classic albums",[7] and Invisible Oranges stated that the LP "maintains their signature sound without getting bogged down by stale tropes".[8] Fred Thomas of AllMusic claimed that the album offered "a set of tunes that feel freshly anguished and uproarious rather than aiming to re-create the energy of the band in their earlier incarnations".[2] Joshua Hart at Louder Than War, in what was otherwise a mostly positive review, criticized "Hypnotic" as "a boring rerecording of an older song" and labeled "Me + JD" as "slapdash Ramones-light with too-loud drums".[4]
