Reception to Catharsis was fairly positive. Alex Henderson for AllMusic called the album "enjoyably solid, especially if one has a taste for dark, ominous doom metal."[2] Jim for Punknews.org was another who spoke highly of the album, who in particular praised the guitarwork stating that it "ranges from heavy-as-fuck doom metal to spacey, psychedelic sounding riffs."[3] Chris Ayers for Exclaim! stated that "Yob add a much needed variety to a tired genre, and Catharsis is hopefully just the beginning."[5]
