Billboard wrote that "slow and medium-tempo songs mate drones to screeching guitar work that could make it with grunge-loving modern rockers."[11] Trouser Press gave the album a mixed review, writing that "like most premature debuts, Comfort captures Failure, a young trio, learning how to make cool sounds together without benefit of worthwhile songs or an established personality."[12]
The Chicago Tribune noted that "even when the guitars are turned up to 11, production and arrangements on Comfort have a rather polite surgical precision and clarity."[7] The Orlando Sentinel called Failure "an engrossing three-piece variant on the melody-meets-mayhem theme."[9]
