Aiding & Abetting compared Coldwave Breaks II favorably to the first compilation, saying "this one carries forth the same attitude from the first, and works to find new and innovative electronic-oriented bands."[3] Steve Huey of allmusic awarded the compilation three out of five possible stars.[2] Critic Richard T. Thurston of Ink 19 warmly reviewed the album and described it as "venture into the dark side of industrial techhouse."[4] Sonic Boom called the album one of the "more concise Sythcore collections of the year" and credited Acumen, Beauty, LUXT and Rammstein as being standouts.[5]
