''Alice in Hell'' has received mostly positive reviews. [[Allmusic]]'s Eduardo Rivadavia gave it three stars out of five, and states that "Annihilator's brand of technical, thinking man's thrash metal garnered many fans with this fine debut, arguably the best release of the band's career."<ref name="allmusic"/> Adam MccCannMcCann of Metal Digest referred to ''Alice in Hell'' as "a real classic thrash metal album", and wrote, "For a debut album, Annihilator blasted it out of the park, the Canadian band hit the ground running with one of thrash metal's best albums, tracks such as 'Human Insecticide', 'W.T.Y.D. (Welcome to Your Death)' and 'Alison Hell' in particular still stand tall today as thrash metal anthems as Jeff Waters demonstrated his prowess on guitar backed up by the indomitable vocals of the late Randy Rampage which drove ''Alice in Hell'' into [[MTV]]'s heavy rotation."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://metal-digest.com/2022/04/17/annihilator-alice-in-hell/|title=Annihilator – 'Alice in Hell' – Metal Digest – The Normless Magazine|publisher=metal-digest.com|access-date=April 23, 2022}}</ref>
