Party for Your Life was generally received with positive reviews from music critics. Amanda Hather of Canadian Beats stated, "The album has a mix of songs that you can dance up a storm with plus songs that are more laid back but still have a fun sound to them."[22] Both Hather and Keith Sharp from The Music Express responded well to the tracks "Gravity" and "Don't Even Care". Sharp believed that these songs demonstrated that the band had refined their sound on the album. He also thought "One in a Million" and “Feel So Alive” were straightforward pop songs that showed they were “making great strides in their songwriting and performance development."[24]
