AllMusic[5]

Ned Raggett of AllMusic found DJ Krush's production "spare but effective, launching grooves that unfold just enough over the course of his tracks, edgy and slightly unnerving."[5] Raggett wrote that DJ Krush "has a definite sound and style", but "also knows how to create any number of variations or twists with it, with fine results."[5] Reviewing the album for Trouser Press, Mark Kemp dubbed Krush "a milestone, a dizzying collision of genres."[6] Peter Shapiro, writing in Drum 'n' Bass: The Rough Guide (1999), said that it hinted at "the more effective monochromaticism" of DJ Krush's later music.[7] In 2021, Krush was ranked at number 19 on Slant Magazine's list of the best trip hop albums of all time.[8]
