1916 reached number 24 in UK charts and number 142 in the US. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance at the 1992 Grammys, but lost to Metallica's Metallica, which was released approximately six months later.
1916 received mostly positive reviews. Allmusic's Alex Henderson gave it three stars out of five, and said that "the band's sound hadn't changed much, and time hadn't made its sledgehammer approach any less appealing." He also added, "Whether the subject matter is humorously fun or more serious, Motörhead is as inspired as ever on 1916."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
