Conceived in Sewage received mixed to positive reviews. Denise Falzon of Exclaim! described the album as "33 minutes of slamming, brutal death metal mixed with grind elements", and called it "fast and punishing throughout".[3] Dean Brown of PopMatters said, "for the most part Conceived in Sewage has...concise, memorable songwriting". He also liked "Majewski's...rhythmic gutturals", but noted that "Devourment are not pushing into any uncharted death metal terrains with Conceived in Sewage".[4] Chris Krovatin of Revolver said that the band "[does] entirely what you expect them to". He also noted, "While spirited in their performance, this brutal quartet lack the dynamism and versatility of label-mates Dying Fetus, resulting in a relatively entertaining record for death metal fans but not much more."[5]

Both Falzon and Krovatin praised Erik Rutan's production, with Falzon saying that it "takes Conceived in Sewage to a higher level of eviscerating brutality",[3] and Krovatin calling the sound "solid" and "lush".[5]
