Feed the Wolf received positive reviews, but not as overwhelming as previous releases. Sputnikmusic staff reviewer Alex Silveri said "Feed the Wolf isn't the moving wonder that was Walls, nor as catchy and exciting as Destroy the Robots, but it still retains all the elements that make the Red Paintings one of the most exciting bands out there in the Australian landscape today". The album is referred to as being not as easily accessible as their previous work, although praise (also amongst user comments) was high for their rendition of the Nick Cave classic, likened to a "epic trembling wave, building itself from a slow piano introduction and ending in a hail of torrential drumming and blinding fierceness".[1]
