Pylon has received an approval rating of 77/100 based on eleven reviews on review aggregator website Metacritic.[4]

AllMusic wrote: "Pylon doesn't sound terribly innovative within the band's body of work, but the album's widescreen sound and bone-fracturing impact leave no doubt that Killing Joke are still deeply committed to what they do, and it's genuinely remarkable that they're still sounding this furious and effective 35 years after their debut album."[5]

Pylon ranked at number 10 in Rolling Stone's list of the "20 Best Metal Albums of 2015".[13]
