John Bush of AllMusic wrote, "Roots Manuva handled every type of song with flowing confidence and a bemused air, whether it was a club jam or a message track." Alex Needham of NME called it "Brit-rap's finest hour to date." Christian Hopwood of BBC Music felt that the album "should be lauded for its degree of musical invention and individual approach to the genre".{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/d9p2|title=Roots Manuva - Run Come Save Me - Review|work=BBC|first=Christian|last=Hopwood|date=2002|access-date=13 April 2015}}
