Paul Cooper of Pitchfork gave the album a 9.5 out of 10, saying, "I find Roots Manuva's delivery addictive, compelling, and, above all, heartfelt." In 2014, Oscar Rickett of Vice said, "It's hard to believe it's been 15 years since this album was made. He added, "It's easier to believe that nothing as good as it has ever come out of the UK hip-hop scene."{{cite web|url=http://noisey.vice.com/ja/blog/UK-hip-hop-has-never-bettered-roots-manuva-brand-new-second-hand|title=Fifteen Years on, UK Hip-Hop Has Never Bettered Roots Manuva's 'Brand New Second Hand'|work=Vice|first=Oscar|last=Rickett|date=25 March 2014|access-date=13 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304074824/http://noisey.vice.com/ja/blog/UK-hip-hop-has-never-bettered-roots-manuva-brand-new-second-hand|archive-date=4 March 2016}}
