From contemporary reviews, Dave Simpson of The Guardian gave the album a five-star rating out of five, declaring that it is "a near-definitive guide to some of the world's most extraordinary music".[6] For AllMusic Richie Unterberger described it as including "works by some of the most renowned exponents of [krautrock]" with the exception of Kraftwerk and that the album "yields a good cross-section of a style that was likely more influential in subsequent decades than it was at the time".[5] John Garratt of PopMatters reviewed the album in 2018, commenting on Simpson's comment of the album being "definitive", while stating that they do their "best to distance myself from such superlatives, but I'm not going to go through any writing gymnastics to say that the writer is wrong. This is extraordinary music. To say that it's near-definitive is a matter of hair-splitting. Any way you look at it, it's worth the time, money, and posterity."[4]
