In 2014, Vice's Billy Black hailed The Noise Made by People as Warp's most representative release. Lauding its "untouchable otherness", Black wrote that it helped pave paths for accessible experimental music in the future. Stereogum's Nate Patrin wrote an essay on the album in response to its 20th anniversary, crediting it with introducing a "more sophisticated, less caricatured" psychedelia style to the new millennium. Mark Lager, in a retrospective review commemorating the album's 20th anniversary, described the "cinematic" instrumentation as similar to "the crystalline elegance of film scores (especially the swinging basslines and jazzy percussion of the ’60s)" and praised Trish Keenan's lyrics and vocals, describing them as "hypnotic and inviting while still mysterious and melancholy.
