Ironbound was given highly positive reviews with vocalist, Bobby 'Blitz' Ellsworth, being a main point of critical acclaim. Chad Bowar of About.com states, 'What makes Overkill stand out is vocalist Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth, whose high pitched singing is unique and instantly recognizable. He's able to dial it down and sing in a lower range, but can wail when it's required.'[7] A review from Blabbermouth.net says, 'Ironbound' is one of, if not the most ripping collection of tunes this legendary act has laid to tape.'[8]Exodus lead guitarist Gary Holt stated in an interview that Ironbound is 'One of their best records ever; it's so good'.

Ironbound was Overkill's first album to chart on the Billboard 200 in 17 years, since I Hear Black in 1993. It sold over 4,100 copies in its first week in the U.S.[9] and over 15,000 copies in the U.S by May 2010.[10]
