AllMusic[3]

AllMusic awarded Stillborn two and a half out of five stars.[3] Aiding & Abetting commented that the material featuring contributions from other musicians was of high quality but criticized the album for not living up to Loaded and said "the only real problem here is that three of the nine tracks are radio edits, which basically shorten good songs into mindless (and less interesting) snippets."[4] Sonic Boom called the album "quite a disappointment" and "as a result, unless you are a radio DJ, don't bother with this EP as the new album Loaded has all of this material in a much better represented format."[5] Fabryka Music Magazine awarded the album a two out of four.[6]
