Matt Hendrickson of Rolling Stone said, "The album's jumble of epic sounds is a blessing and a curse: Rhythm and Stealth never develops a sustained, full-on groove, but it makes for a mind-melding headphone adventure." John Bush of AllMusic said, "Leftfield has moved on with a grace and mastery of production seldom seen in the dance world."

NME named it the 24th best album of 1999.{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/bestalbumsandtracksoftheyear/1999-2-1045360|title=Albums And Tracks Of The Year: 1999|work=NME|date=10 October 2016|accessdate=10 September 2018|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170320225421/http://www.nme.com/bestalbumsandtracksoftheyear/1999-2-1045360|archivedate=20 March 2017}}
