Since its release in 1992, Slanted and Enchanted has appeared on many best-of lists. It has been frequently cited as among the best albums of the 1990s and one of the most influential indie rock albums of all time. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine, in a five out five stars review, called Slanted and Enchanted "a left-field classic" and "one of the most influential records of the '90s". In 2002, Pitchfork awarded the album their maximum grade of 10.0/10.0 in a review of the album's reissue and ranked it as the 5th greatest album of the 90s in 2003. Robert Christgau, in a highly favourable review, awarded the album an A grade, claiming that Pavement are "good at both tune and noise", yet Slanted and Enchanted yields "a message complex enough to offer hope". Rolling Stone called it "the quintessential indie rock album."
