Critical reception for the album was lukewarm upon its release. The album failed to live up to the expectations,  set by the band's previous releases, ''[[Spreading the Disease]]'', ''[[Among the Living]]'' and the ''[[I'm the Man (EP)|I'm the Man]]'' [[Extended play|EP]].

Aside from "Be All, End All" and "Antisocial", most of the songs on ''State of Euphoria'' have not appeared on the band's live setlists since the album's accompanying tour in 1988–1989. The only songs from this album that have never been played live at least once are "Schism", "Misery Loves Company" and "13". The members of Anthrax have since spoken about their mixed opinions on ''State of Euphoria'', and drummer [[Charlie Benante]] has been quoted as saying that the band feels the album was not finished properly.<ref>{{cite web|title=ANTHRAX: 'State Of Euphoria' 30th-Anniversary Deluxe Reissue Details Revealed|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/anthrax-complete-state-of-euphoria-30th-anniversary-deluxe-reissue-details-revealed/|website=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=30 August 2018|access-date=April 15, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=ANTHRAX's CHARLIE BENANTE On 'State Of Euphoria' Album: 'All Of Us In The Band Felt That It Was Not Finished'|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/anthraxs-charlie-benante-on-state-of-euphoria-album-all-of-us-in-the-band-felt-that-it-was-not-finished/|website=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=20 September 2018|access-date=April 15, 2021}}</ref>
